England beat Wales, Netherlands beat Malta, Austria won 10-0

(Dan Tri) - England showed their superior strength when defeating Wales 3-0 in a friendly match. Austria and the Netherlands also won big in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe on the morning of October 10.

In the match at Wembley Stadium (London, England), coach Thomas Tuchel's team gave the home crowd a satisfying performance despite it being a friendly match. Main striker Harry Kane did not play due to injury, but the England team still showed overwhelming strength.

While the audience had not yet settled down, Morgan Rogers made the stadium explode when he put the "Three Lions" ahead in the 3rd minute, creating a more favorable start.

Morgan Rogers' early goal was also the start of a nightmare period for Wales. In the 11th minute, Ollie Watkins, who rarely started in place of Harry Kane, made his mark by doubling the gap. Just 9 minutes later, Bukayo Saka continued to "join in the fun" with a third goal, helping England lead 3-0 in just 20 minutes of the first half.

Creating a big gap, Coach Tuchel's team played leisurely but still maintained complete dominance and did not give Wales any chance to rise up. According to statistics, the "Three Lions" controlled the ball up to 64%, launched 17 shots (5 times on target).

If they had taken better advantage of their chances, the Three Lions could have won even more. In the end, the England team won convincingly 3-0.

At the same time, the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches continued on European pitches. In Group G, the Netherlands team had a resounding 4-0 victory over Malta.

Striker Cody Gakpo opened the scoring to put the "Orange Storm" ahead in the 12th minute. In the second half, in the 49th minute, the Liverpool striker continued to shine, completing a double to double the gap for the Netherlands.

Not stopping there, Cody Gakpo also showed impressive form by assisting Tijjani Reijnders to score, raising the score to 3-0 in the 57th minute. The person who sealed the 4-star victory for the Netherlands against Malta was Memphis Depay with a late goal in the 90+2 minute.

With this important victory, the Netherlands rose to the top of Group G with 13 points after 5 matches.

Meanwhile, in Group H, Austria made the biggest impression with a 10-0 win over San Marino. The home goal feast was kicked off by Romano Schmid scoring after an assist from Alaba.

After the early goal, the home team played explosively and scored 5 more goals in a row. At the end of the first 45 minutes, Austria created a "rain of goals" to take the lead with a score of 6-0.

In the second half, the Austrian team continued to completely dominate San Marino. Coach Ralf Rangnick's team scored 4 more goals to end the match with a final score of 10-0. Striker Marko Arnautovic was the brightest star, contributing 4 goals in this historic "10-star" victory of Austria.

With this result, Austria has consolidated its position in Group H, at the same time creating a gap of two points with the second team Bosnia & Herzegovina (although the team has played one more game). This big win also has the double benefit of helping Austria to strongly improve their goal difference in the rankings.
