Paul Pogba strikes for France in victory over Netherlands

Last Updated: 11/10/16 12:25am



Paul Pogba scored a spectacular long-range goal as France took control of Group A with a 1-0 win over Holland.

Manchester United's world-record signing unleashed a dipping 30-yard strike in the first half to sink the Dutch at the Amsterdam Arena, inflicting Netherlands' first World Cup qualifying loss since September 2001 - an unbeaten run of 33 matches.

Pogba has found the net just once for United this season and his previous goal for France came in the Euro 2016 quarter-final victory over Iceland, which was his first international strike in almost two years.

However, the £89m midfielder was helped by some generous goalkeeping by Maarten Stekelenburg as he netted his seventh goal for Les Bleus.

With Dimitri Payet pulling the strings France dominated the early stages and got a first sight of goal after just four minutes.



However, Payet's corner was headed wide by Raphael Varane, and shortly after Stekelenburg saved from Kevin Gameiro.

The deadlock was broken in spectacular style by Pogba on the half-hour mark when Laurent Koscielny intercepted the ball on the halfway line and fed Payet, who played a square pass to Pogba.

Pogba took a couple of steps forward, looked up and unleashed a fierce shot which the diving Stekelenburg got a hand to but could not keep out.

Payet then fancied a slice of the action and had a long-range effort saved, but France survived a scare just before half-time when a poor backpass from the West Ham midfielder allowed Vincent Janssen to move in on goal.

Janssen's shot was blocked by Koscielny, and although the ball bounced onto the defender's hand, Holland's appeals for a penalty were waved away.

Janssen came even closer to finding the target after the break when he rolled Varane in the area but lashed his shot into the side-netting.

Pogba almost created a second for France when his ball over the top found Kevin Gameiro, who brought it down superbly but was unable to beat the onrushing Stekelenburg with Antoine Griezmann skying the rebound.

Pogba then squandered the opportunity to notch his second when he headed Payet's corner straight at Stekelenburg.

France were grateful to goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for keeping out Memphis Depay's late snap-shot to preserve the three points.

【now.com體育】周一上演的世界盃歐洲區外圍賽A組榜首大戰，法國憑轉會費世界紀錄保持者保羅普巴的遠射建功，作客以1:0擊敗荷蘭，全取3分。

球星如雲的法國隊周一派出最強陣容，基沙文、加美路及皮耶等悉數正選登場，而近期飽受批評的中場保羅普巴（Paul Pogba），亦能保住正選位置。相反，主場出擊的荷蘭缺少洛賓及史奈達兩大球星，今仗由效力熱刺的雲遜贊臣掛帥，卡拉臣及昆斯普美斯則負責提供支援；不過，普美斯開賽初段就告傷出，要由迪比入替，間接打亂主帥白蘭特賽前的部署。

背負全球轉會費紀錄之王之名的普巴，今季在曼聯未能踢出水準，在國家隊表現亦一般，惹來不少批評聲音；不過，他今仗終於踢出身價波。30分鐘，普巴接應皮耶的傳送，在禁區外施放一記冷箭，史基倫堡判斷錯誤，只能目送皮球入網。法國結果就憑普巴這個美妙入球，以1:0獲勝。

全取3分後，法國成功反壓賽前憑較佳得失球差排榜首的荷蘭；而由於同組的瑞典同日以3:0擊敗保加利亞，賽後與法國同樣累積7分，今場輸波的荷蘭，一下子掉至第3位。

World Cup qualifiers round-up: Portugal hit six goals

Last Updated: 10/10/16 11:23pm



Andre Silva notched a first-half hat-trick as Portugal strolled to a 6-0 win against the Faroe Islands in Torshavn.

Silva punished sloppy defending from the hosts with a 12th-minute strike and 22nd-minute header before completing his treble by adding a side-footed effort eight minutes prior to the break.

Cristiano Ronaldo then got in on the act in the 65th minute, cracking the ball in from the edge of the box, and Portugal's second 6-0 triumph in just a few days was wrapped up in stoppage time by goals from substitute Joao Moutinho and Joao Cancelo.

However, Portugal are chasing Switzerland in Group B as the Swiss eventually got past a stubborn Andorra side to go top of Group B thanks to a 2-1 win at Estadi Nacional.

The opener came from the penalty spot after Admir Mehmedi was brought down in the area which was converted by defender Fabian Schar.

Despite plenty of attempts on goal, the visitors finally got their second when Xherdan Shaqiri found Mehmedi to nod home with 13 minutes remaining as they looked to ease to victory.

But Andorra caused some concern through Alexandre Martinez's 25-yard strike in stoppage but Switzerland held on to maintain their 100 per cent start.

Hungary moved above opponents Latvia and the Faroe Islands to third in European World Cup Qualifying Group B with a 2-0 win in Riga.

Goals from Ola Toivonen, Oscar Hiljemark and Victor Lindelof steered Sweden to a 3-0 home victory over Bulgaria in World Cup European Qualifying Group A while France took control of the group with a 1-0 win over Netherlands.

The Swedes grabbed the lead in the 39th minute when Emil Forsberg's cross went via Marcus Berg and Bulgaria defender Aleksandar Aleksandrov to Toivonen, who blasted in.

Moments after Ivelin Popov squandered a great chance to equalise by shooting wide, Hiljemark made it 2-0 in the 45th minute with a fine right-foot finish.

Lindelof then hooked home in the 58th to seal a win that sees Sweden move up to second in the group, level on seven points from three games with leaders France. Bulgaria, who have now lost twice in two matches under boss Petar Hubchev, stay fourth.

Ten-man Luxembourg claimed their first point in World Cup European Qualifying Group A as Aurelien Joachim's late free-kick secured them a 1-1 draw against Belarus in Borisov.

【now.com體育】應屆歐國盃冠軍葡萄牙繼續強勢，周一在世界盃歐洲區外圍賽B組以6:0大勝法羅群島，陣中的20歲新晉前鋒米基爾施華，更取得個人在國家隊的首個帽子戲法。

葡萄牙周一世盃外作客魚腩部隊法羅群島，日前個人單場入4球的王牌基斯坦奴朗拿度、哥利斯馬等歐國盃主將皆在正選之列；歐國盃決賽入球功臣艾達及新星連拿度辛捷士則先列後備。

牌面遠勝對手的葡萄牙，開波12分鐘已成功破網，由效力波圖的新晉射手米基爾施華（Andre Miguel Silva）先開紀錄。C朗及哥利斯馬之後先後有埋門嘗試，但都無功而還；不過，米基爾施華到22分鐘藉頭槌再度建功，為葡軍擴大領先優勢至2:0。15分鐘之後，他再有進賬，未踢完上半場已達成帽子戲法，完半場球隊就遙遙領先3:0。

上仗造出「大四喜」的C朗也不欲失威，全場已作出多次嘗試的他，戰至65分鐘終於有斬獲。C朗接應祖奧馬里奧的妙傳，在禁區邊起腳，對手門將摸到來球卻只能稍為改變方向，未能成功救出，領先優勢拉開到4球。

補時階段葡軍再增添紀錄，摩天奴與祖奧簡斯路分別錦上添花，助球隊以6:0贏波，連續兩場取得大捷，賽後3戰累積6分，升上小組次席，落後同日小勝安道爾2:1的瑞士3分；匈牙利以2:0擊敗拉脫維亞後，則壓過法羅群島升上小組第3位。

【now.com體育】賓迪基周一個人連中三元，協助比利時於H組作客以6:0狂勝直布羅陀之餘，這位25歲前鋒在開波僅7秒鐘就極速取得首個入球，刷新世盃外歷來最快入球紀錄。

比利時周一在世盃外H組作客大勝直布羅陀6:0，效力水晶宮的前鋒賓迪基（Christian Benteke）開波僅7秒鐘就把握對手失誤，搶去皮球後個人帶波推進，在多名對手包圍下仍能一射破網，刷新了塵封23年的世盃外紀錄——聖馬力諾球員Davide Gualtieri於1993年曾在英格蘭身上取得入球，當時的入球時間為開波後8.3秒，成為世盃外史上最快入球紀錄。

賓迪基這個7秒入球，同時刷新了比利時國家隊的歷來最快入球紀錄；除此之外，今場大演帽子戲法的他，亦終於成功打破個人在國家隊長達逾18個月的入球荒，一吐烏氣。

比利時在H組3戰全勝得9分，轟入13球的同時更未失一球，目前以較佳得失球差壓住同得9分的希臘，高踞榜首。

【now.com體育】德國於周二的世界盃外圍賽迎戰北愛爾蘭，在半場領先兩球下，最終主場贏2:0，目前於小組3戰全勝。

德國今仗沿用上仗大勝捷克的正選陣容，效力多蒙特的馬里奧葛斯續踢正箭頭，奧斯爾、達斯拿及湯馬士梅拿作後上支援，並於上半場早段迅速由達斯拿及基迪拉建功，之後馬里奧葛斯曾近門得手，但被判「炸糊」，半場德國帶著兩球領先優勢返回更衣室。

下半場德國見好就收，換入根度簡及梅斯達菲等球員，之後雙方再無增添比數，德國全場控制戰局下順利全取3分。

德國現時於C組3戰全勝繼續排榜首，挪威則主場大破聖馬力諾打開勝利之門，至於阿塞拜疆再次搶分成功，作客悶和捷克後，目前3戰得7分排第2位。
