Ronaldo, Giroud and Kane score for respective countries in Euro 2020 qualifying matches

His hat trick in a 4-0 home win against Bulgaria ensured England’s third straight win in qualifying and moved it on top of Group A ahead of Kosovo, which beat the Czech Republic 2-1 at home.

Kane took his international tally to 25 goals in 40 appearances by opening the scoring in the first half, and added two second-half penalties either side of setting up Raheem Sterling’s goal.

World Cup semifinalist England is unbeaten in 11 matches against Bulgaria, which is last in Group A with two points.

At Stade de France, France maintained its unbeaten run in home European Championship qualifiers since 2010.

Albania’s players were stunned when the wrong national anthem was played beforehand, delaying the start by nearly 10 minutes until the correct one was played.

Once the action started, Kingsley Coman celebrated his second and third France goals in what has been an injury-hit international career since bursting onto the scene at Euro 2016.

Also, defending champion Portugal won at Serbia 4-2, with the ever-prolific Cristiano Ronaldo grabbing his team’s third goal.

15 AND COUNTING?

Kosovo is 15 games unbeaten following a comeback 2-1 home win against the Czech Republic.

The Czechs took the lead through forward Patrik Schick’s 16th-minute goal but was pegged back four minutes later by midfielder Vedat Muriqi. Kosovo’s winner came midway through the second half when defender Mergim Vojvoda stroked the ball in from a low corner.

Police in Kosovo arrested eight Czech fans on Friday for allegedly planning to fly a drone with a pro-Serbia banner during Saturday’s game. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, which Belgrade refuses to recognize.

Next up for Kosovo, which is one point behind Group A leader England, is a London trip to face Kane’s confident England at Wembley.

GOAL NO 89

Ronaldo took his astonishing tally of international goals to 89 with the third in Portugal’s 4-2 win at Serbia.

After opening with two home draws, Portugal grabbed a vital win considering Group B leader Ukraine won easily.

Midfielder William Carvalho put Portugal ahead late in the first half and Gonçalo Guedes thumped home in the 58th.

Defender Nikola Milenkovic pulled one back midway through the second half at Stadion Rajko Mitic in Belgrade, before Ronaldo latched onto Bernardo Silva’s pass in the 80th.

Powerful striker Aleksandar Mitrovic replied in the 85th only for Silva to make it 4-2 one minute later.

Unbeaten Ukraine won at Lithuania 3-0 and leads with 13 points — having played two more games than second-placed Portugal on five.

Oleksandr Zinchenko scored Ukraine’s first goal early on, with Brazilian-born Marlos and his fellow midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi adding the other goals.
