International updates: Schick, Maza and Quansah start victoriously

+++ 13/11: England still unbeatable +++

You can't get better than this: England made it seven wins from seven matches in Group K of World Cup qualifying with a 2-0 win at home to Serbia. Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze netted the goals in each half for the already qualified Three Lions, who are still yet to drop a point or concede a goal in this campaign. Werkself defender Jarell Quansah was an unused substitute at Wembley. England's final match is away to second-placed Albania on Sunday evening.

+++ 13/11: Successful warm-up for Schick and Co +++

Czech Republic played a friendly against San Marino ahead of their final World Cup qualifier. After missing a penalty and having a goal disallowed for offside, Tomáš Souček of West Ham United scored the only goal of the game towards the end of the first half. Bayer 04 striker Patrik Schick came on in the 63rd minute.

The Czechs face a significantly more important encounter this coming Monday with their eighth and last group match in World Cup qualifying. They must win against pointless Gibraltar to be guaranteed second place, which would send them through to the European play-offs.

+++ 13/11: Maza starts for Algeria in friendly win +++

World Cup participants Algeria emerged victorious from the first of two friendlies in this period, claiming a comfortable 3-1 victory over Zimbabwe. Werkself attacker Ibrahim Maza was in the starting line-up as all three Algerian goals arrived in the first half. He came off in the 62nd minute, before his team-mates conceded a penalty shortly before the end. Next up is a clash with Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
