5th – Spain, 1 point (4G: 1T-3L, 1-5)
This means that France and England were unbeatable in all the four games played and will get the second places in the other group in the semi-finals, the next step of the competition. Italy’s defeat against Turkey didn’t change the previous order, thanks to the victory of France against Greece, which only needed a golden point from an eventual tie that didn’t come. Arona Sow scored the single goal of the match and closed the standings in group A.
The last positions of the Czech Republic and the current European champion, Spain, mean automatic relegation.
This Wednesday, the matches of the play-out and semi-finals are the following:
PLAY-OUT
* 9 am – Italy vs Romania
* 11.30 am – Greece vs Poland
SEMI-FINALS
* 3 pm – France vs Germany
* 5.30 pm – England vs Turkey
It is decision time in the 2022 IBSA Blind Football Men’s European Championship and all the thrill is live streamed on the IBSA YouTube channel. Stay tuned!
