JAKARTA - The Euro 2024 qualification is just playing the last matchday. The runner-up position is the hottest fight considering that the group winners are unlikely to be shifted.

On Tuesday, November 21, 2023, WIB, Group C, E, and H completed their final matchday. The matchday for runner-up tickets is the fiercest.

Group C, for example, brings together Ukraine vs Italy, where both teams have the opportunity to accompany England who are already untouched at the top. Finally, Italy successfully carried out a scenario to only pick one point.

Group E is no less interesting. Albania, which is definitely holding a ticket to the Euro 2024 finals in Germany, also underwent the final qualifying match even though the results had no effect.

Sure enough, they only drew 0-0 against the caretaker, Faroe Islands.

Well, the hot match was presented between the Republic of Ceska and Moldova. Both teams still have the opportunity to accompany Albania to qualify automatically.

No wonder, the match between the two teams took place with high tension at Andruv Stadium, the home of the Republic of Ceska. The possession of the ball is thin, which is 55 percent owned by the host and 45 percent have guests.

However, the hosts were more effective in attack. They could produce 22 attempts of which seven were on target. Three of the seven shots into the goal were a success.

The Republic of Ceska has been pressing since the beginning of the match. Their efforts paid off when the game had only been running for a quarter-hour through David Doudera's goal.

The 1-0 advantage lasted until a break considering that throughout the remaining time the first half the two teams took turns fighting attacks.

Entering the second half, disaster began. Just 10 minutes into the game, Moldova had to play with 10 players after Vladislav Baboglo was sent off by the referee.

Winning the number of players is a good signal for the hosts. They immediately took advantage of this condition to really immerse Moldova.

Two additional goals from the Ceska Republic were created through Tomas Chory (72') and Tomas Soucek (89').

The 0-3 defeat made Moldova bite her finger. They failed to qualify for the finals because they were only in fourth place in the standings with 10 points.

This means that Moldova also failed to struggle through play-offs because it was still defeated by Poland, which stood in third place in the standings with 11 points.

Turning to Group H. The hot match took place between Slovenia versus Kazakhstan. The two teams are fighting for runners-up to accompany Denmark who will definitely qualify for Germany.

The match at the Stzzice Stadium, Slovenian home, rolled with high tension.

The hosts managed to take the lead first through Benjamin Sesko's penalty in the 41st minute.

However, that advantage did not last long. When the second half had only been running for three minutes, Kazakhstan equalized the score through Ramazan Orazov's action.

When the match seemed to end in a draw, disaster for Kazakhstan came four minutes before disbanding. Benjamin Verbic put the hosts ahead. The 2-1 score can be maintained in Slovenia until the game is over.

Slovenia has the right to accompany Denmark as runners-up in Group H with the same points collection, 22 points.

Denmark actually also played their last match against Northern Ireland. They lost 0-2 to the hosts who scored through Isaac Price (60') and Dion Charles (81').

However, the match had no effect on Denmark. The defeat still made them group leaders.

Meanwhile, Kazakhstan was certainly thrown because it only ended up on the fourth stairs of the group. They are still under Finland who both collected 18 points. In other words, Finland represented Group H in the play-offs.
