Atalanta Internationals: the recap of 18/11/2024
The November '24 break to wrap up tomorrow
Starting off with our UEFA Nations League participants, draw was the fil rouge of the night as both Mario Pašalić's Croatia and Lazar Samardžić's Serbia shared spoils with, repsectively, Portugal (1-1) and Denmark (0-0). While the former made a substitute appearance and played the whole second half, the latter started the game instead and was subbed off in the second fraction of the game (namely, on 73 minutes). With the Vatreni booking their spot in the quarter.finals, the Oglavi will take part in the play-offs instead.
As for the AFCON qualifiers, while Sulemana started and clocked in the whole 90 minutes in Ghana's setback against Niger; Lookman didn't feature the squad list as the Super Eagles (already qualified to the the next stage) lost at home to Rwanda.
