Opponents Ukraine held a 3-1 advantage heading into Sunday's game but a stunning, late Romelu Lukaku double, following Maxim De Cuyper's opener 20 minutes from time, saw the Red Devils produce an remarkable comeback at Cegeka Arena, triumphing 4-3 on aggregate in the play-off match.

Celebrating Romelu Lukaku's second goal.

The Foxes centre-back was an unused substitute in Spain on Friday but came into the starting XI and helped to keep a clean sheet for Rudi Garcia's side, who end the international break on a high.

Fellow City defender Jannik Vestergaard started Denmark's 5-3 aggregate defeat to Portugal in the Nations League Quarter-Finals, losing 5-2 after extra-time in the second leg, having taken a slender lead to Lisbon.

Cristiano Ronaldo missed an early penalty for the hosts, but Joachim Andersen's own goal did put Roberto Martínez's men ahead prior to half-time. Rasmus Kristensen's leveller was then followed by Ronaldo re-establishing their advantage.

Victor Kristiansen was introduced in the 73rd-minute and, three minutes later, Christian Eriksen found the net for the Danes. But, in an end-to-end encounter, Trincão's late goal took it to extra-time. The Sporting winger added his second shortly after the restart and Goncalo Ramos confirmed Portugal's place in the last-four of the competition.

In 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying, Danny Ward remained a substitute as Wales beat Kazakhstan 3-1 in their campaign opener on Saturday. Daniel James, Ben Davies and Rabbi Matondo all scored at Cardiff City Stadium as Craig Bellamy's side began with a win.

Development Squad attacker Logan Briggs was on the bench for the Dragons' Under-21s, meanwhile, as they ended their camp with a 1-1 friendly draw against Sweden in Valencia on Sunday afternoon.

And Louis Page was also in action during England Under-17s' UEFA EURO U17 qualification campaign, coming off the bench during a 2-0 victory over Israel, before playing 90 minutes of the 3-2 win against Slovenia at St. George's Park.

The centre midfielder could feature again in Tuesday's match-up with Northern Ireland at the same venue (7pm GMT kick-off) as the young Lions look to maintain their 100 per cent record and remain top of Group G.

Monday sees Ghana play another World Cup qualification match, with Jordan Ayew in line for more minutes having scored for the Black Stars on Friday. Check back to LCFC.com, the LCFC App and @LCFC on X for updates.
