Larsson substitute – and matchwinner

Hugo Larsson sat where he least of all wanted to sit – on the bench. Then he got to do what he wants and can. The midfielder scored the winning goal for Eintracht Frankfurt against the Latvian club RFS.

The substitution came during the break. With eleven minutes left of regular time, Larsson coolly scored the only goal of the match, set up by Omar Marmoush, close to the post.

Larsson had a heated exchange with the national team's head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson during the Nations League gathering in September. Then, he was disappointed over the lack of playing time against Azerbaijan.

Recently, he had to settle for limited playing time during the national team matches against Slovakia and Estonia in the Nations League.

Then, he expressed his discontent once again, but in a more restrained and balanced manner.

Frankfurt has started the Europa League group stage with two wins and one draw.

Lucas Bergvall got the chance to start when Tottenham hosted AZ Alkmaar. He repaid manager Ange Postecoglou's trust and arranged a penalty in the second half.

Richarlison, who started for the first time this season, scored the 1–0 goal.

The match ended unhappily for the 18-year-old giant talent. Bergvall clutched his thigh, limped off the pitch, and was replaced by Dejan Kulusevski.

U21 national team player Mayckel Lahdo made a lively substitute appearance for AZ.

Centre-back Victor Nilsson Lindelöf started from the kickoff in Istanbul, where Manchester United played 1–1 against Fenerbahce. The national team captain was substituted after just 55 minutes and replaced by Casemiro.
