Successful evening for our Genk internationals!
Paul Onuachu was a substitute for Nigeria in Cape Verde in the evening. The Super Eagles won 1-2. They lead their qualifying group with 6 points out of 6.
Junya Ito was crucial in China-Japan in Doha, Qatar. Our 'Ninja' rushed down his wing and delivered a perfect cross to provide an assist for the only goal (0-1). This was a crucial win for the Japanese.
Patrik Hrošovský was left on the bench for the past few games, but Slovakia only gain 1 point from 6. Against Cyprus, our midfielder came on to the pitch shortly after half-time. A minute later, his team was 1-0 up, and it was made 2-0 during the final quarter of the match.
The leading role of the evening was once again played by Kristian Thorstvedt. He was again in the starting line-up for Norway in the home match against Gibraltar. Within the first half-hour, he had opened the scoring beautifully and provided an assist to Erling Haaland. He would eventually score three times, giving the Norwegians a 5-1 victory. So Kristian continues to impress. In seven international matches, he has scored two goals and provided three assists. And above all, he has won the trust of coach and teammates, and won the hearts of Norwegian football fans.
