CCTV5 program list (January 31, 2024) - The last round of the European Cup Group A competition ended in the early morning of this morning. The Italian team won the first place in the group with three victories, the Welsh team ranked second with four points, the Swiss team ranked third with three points, and the Turkish team came out at the bottom with a dismal record of losing all three games.
At the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy beat Wales 1-0, extending its unbeaten record and creating the longest consecutive clean sheet in European Cup history (1164 minutes). In the game, the Italian team took the initiative on the field, with the ball control rate as high as 75% and the number of shots reached 23, while the Welsh team had only two shots, none of which was straight. The only goal of the Italian team came from the 39th minute, when Pesina's corner was deflected by Pianic's header, and Pesella easily pushed and shot the goal at the back. In the second half, the Welsh team's Ambadu was sent off with a red card, which made their situation more difficult, and finally they were unable to equalize the score.
At the Baku Olympic Stadium, Switzerland beat Turkey 3-1, adding a glimmer of life to their hopes for qualification. In the game, the attack of the Swiss team was very sharp, especially Shakiri's performance was eye-catching. He scored two wonderful long-range shots in the sixth minute and the 26th minute respectively, helping the team to achieve a two goal lead. Turkey scored the first and only goal of the European Cup in the 62nd minute when Kakovic pulled back a goal. However, the Swiss team did not relax their vigilance. In the 68th minute, they expanded the score again. Zuber's cross was scored by a header from Seferovic, locking the victory.
According to the qualification rules of the European Cup, in addition to the first two of each group directly qualifying for the knockout stage, there are four groups with the best results who can also qualify for the third place. At present, the Swiss team ranks second in the third place of all groups with 3 points. As long as the third place of other groups does not exceed their points or goal difference, they are expected to advance to the last 16. The Welsh team has already confirmed their qualification. They will face the first place in Group B in the knockout match, which may be Belgium, Denmark or Russia. Italy will play second place in Group C, possibly Austria, Ukraine or Northern Macedonia.
