Austria seemed to have a firm grip on the group win in the B division with a 1-0 lead at home against Slovenia. At that point, the Austrians were clear for promotion to the A division thanks to the 5-1 thrashing at home against Norway in October.

Then, Slovenia's Adam Gnezda Cerin equalized to the final score 1-1 in the 81st minute at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna.

In Oslo, superstar Erling Braut Haaland simultaneously put on a big show. The Manchester City star scored a hat-trick in the 5-0 win against Kazakhstan. The Norwegians gathered in a cluster on Ullevål before they could celebrate the final result in Vienna. Norway won the group with 13 points – two ahead of Austria.

England is also clear for promotion to the A division. Despite the team being hit by numerous withdrawals, it ended up being 5-0 at home against Ireland in the group finale. Greece also stayed on 15 points, but the English team took first place thanks to a better goal difference in head-to-head matches.
