Defeated with Belgium, Stassin could miss the derby

To do this, it was necessary to win at home against Hungary, already eliminated before the match and who therefore had nothing left to play for. Building on his thunderous entry into play against Scotland (editor’s note: author of a double giving his team a 2-0 victory), Lucas Stassin was this time established at the forefront of the Diablotins attack.

From the start of the match, the Belgians made their task more complicated. Senne Lammens makes a risky exit at the feet of Zsombor Gruber in the area, a penalty for Hungary who do not hesitate to open the scoring (9′, 0-1). Belgium pushed on during the rest of the match, without ever managing to equalize. The Greens striker even hits the post in added time of the match. Fortunately for the Belgian hopes, Scotland also lost away to Kazakhstan (3-2), allowing them to maintain this second place.

However, you had to finish among the three best second-placed teams in the nine qualifying groups to obtain your direct ticket for the next U20 Euro in Slovakia. The six lowest-ranked runners-up must compete in a round-trip play-off to determine the last three qualifiers. On Thursday, the Imps will know their opponent among Norway, Georgia, Finland, Croatia and the Czech Republic.

The play-offs are scheduled for next November, Monday November 11 for the first leg and Tuesday November 19 for the return leg. On Sunday November 10, the day before the first leg, the Greens travel to the suburbs for the derby.
