With the scores locked at 0-0 at Rheinpark Stadion in Vaduz, the Foxes midfielder converted Daniel James’ cross from close range to hand Craig Bellamy’s side an important three points in the bid to reach next summer’s tournament.

A late leveller saw Denmark come from 2-1 down to draw with Belarus.

Now level on points with North Macedonia, the pair meet in their final Group J fixture tomorrow night, a 7:45pm kick-off at Cardiff City Stadium. Already qualified for the play-offs due to their Nations League success, a win on Tuesday would see Wales confirm second spot and a home semi-final in the one-legged tie.

James won’t be involved, however, due to suspension, having picked up a yellow card against Liechtenstein.

Elsewhere in World Cup qualification, Jannik Vestergaard played throughout Denmark’s 2-2 draw with Belarus at Parken Stadium. It keeps Brian Riemer’s side top of Group C, one point ahead of Scotland, who the Danes face in their final fixture at Hampden Park on Tuesday (7:45pm kick-off).

Battling to victory over South Korea.

Patson Daka started Zambia’s international friendly against South Africa, playing 83 minutes as the Copper Bullets lost 3-1 at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

Louis Page helped England Under-17s to progress in the FIFA U17 World Cup, reaching the last-16 following a 2-0 victory over South Korea in Saturday’s round of 32 tie.

Playing 82 minutes in Doha, the midfielder is in line to feature again in tomorrow’s knockout clash with Austria (3:45pm kick-off). Jake Evans, an unused substitute at the weekend, may also be involved.

Will Daniels’ Canada exited the tournament, however, losing 9-8 on penalties to Republic of Ireland following a 1-1 draw. The young Fox remained on the bench throughout.

Action from the bench for our young defender.

In UEFA U21 EURO qualifying, Chris Popov came on at half-time but could not prevent Wales Under-21s from falling to a 3-0 defeat to Belarus in Georgia, ending hopes of qualification for the tournament.

England Under-20s were held to a 1-1 draw by Japan in Doncaster on Friday evening to conclude the 2025 schedule for Ben Futcher’s team, with young City full-back Olabade Aluko coming off the bench for the final 12 minutes at Eco-Power Stadium.

As for the Under-19s, meanwhile, Jeremy Monga played a part in a 7-0 rout of Albania at Raudondvaris Stadium, continuing a strong start to UEFA U19 EURO 2026 qualifying. Introduced for the second half, the winger won a penalty, converted by Divine Mukasa, which rounded off the scoring in Lithuania.

Forty-five minutes in the tank for Monga.

Sitting top of Group 8 with two wins from two, Will Antwi’s Young Lions face Scotland in their final fixture of the first qualifying round tomorrow (10am kick-off).

Lyndon Turrell played 90 minutes of Gibraltar Under-19s’ 8-0 defeat to Croatia in their second qualifier for the tournament, remaining fourth in Group 6 ahead of facing Georgia tomorrow (10:30am kick-off).

Hugo De Lisle was an unused substitute during England Under-17s’ 1-1 draw with Ivory Coast in Dubai on Saturday. He could be back involved against Australia on Tuesday (11.30am kick-off), their final match this calendar year.
