Matanovic and Fenyö stay in the hunt | OneFootball

The striker got over an hour and the youngster played the full 90 minutes as both reached the next stage of their UEFA competitions.

Igor Matanovic and Croatia are through to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Nations League thanks to the 1-1 draw against Portugal on Monday night. Having finished second in their group, the Kockasti could come up against Germany next. The draw for the knockout stage takes place on Friday.

Matanovic was handed a starting place for the League A finale and was involved until the 63rd minute.

Fenyö into elite round

Noah Fenyö also progressed with the Hungary U19 team. Despite losing 2-1 to Germany in their third group match in qualifying for the 2025 European Under-19 Championship in Romania, the Hungarians have made it through to the elite round as group runners-up. Fenyö again played the full game in the centre of defence.

One player who’s already qualified for a tournament next year is Ellyes Skhiri with Tunisia. Despite their 1-0 defeat to Gambia on Monday, the North Africans’ place in the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco is secured. Skhiri watched the proceedings from the bench.
