Leon Bailey scored his first goal for Jamaica. In his fifth appearance for the Reggae Boyz, the Werkself number nine made it 5-0 in the 6-0 victory against Antigua and Barbuda in Montego Bay in the CONCACAF Nations League match (Group B) and he also set up the second and third goals.

Unlucky defeat for Hradecky and Finland 

It didn't go so well for Lukas Hradecky. The Werkself number one was unlucky to be on the losing side on Sunday evening with Finland in the Euro qualifiers in the top match in Group J against group leaders Italy. The match ended in a 2-1 defeat and there was no chance of revenge from the first meeting in March. Hradecky demonstrated his ability on several occasions but the 29-year-old did not stand a chance with the goals, particularly with the penalty to make it 2-1. Finland are still in second place in the group on 12 points behind the unbeaten Italy side on 18 points.

Marc Lamti played for the Tunisia U23s in a 1-0 defeat against the Cameroon U23 side on Friday in the qualifiers for the U23 Africa Cup of Nations.

Seven players in action on Monday

Other international fixtures are being played today: Germany, with Kai Havertz and Jonathan Tah and the squad, are away in Belfast in the Euro qualifiers (kick-off: 20.45 CET) against the as yet unbeaten group leaders Northern Ireland (Group C). At the same time, Austria, with Julian Baumgartlinger and Aleksandar Dragovic, play the top side in Group G Poland. In addition, Paulinho (Brazil U23), Moussa Diaby (France U21) and Adrian Stanilewicz (Poland U20) are set to play for their national teams.
