Nations League: good news for Albania as Belarus hold Finland, the red-and-blacks can take first place

Albania has received good news from the other match in its Nations League group. Finland and Belarus could not go beyond a goalless draw, a result that gives the red-and-blacks the opportunity to aim for the top of the group. The match played in Helsinki ended 0-0, although Belarus was the team that appeared more insistent at several moments of the game. The visitors managed to send the ball into the net on two occasions, but both goals were disallowed. The Belarusians also had another golden chance, hitting the crossbar.

The goalless draw leaves the race in the group open and gives Albania the opportunity, with a positive result against San Marino, to benefit in the standings and break away from its direct rivals. The red-and-blacks’ next Nations League match will be precisely against San Marino, while Finland will face Albania in the following match. Belarus, on the other hand, will play against San Marino.

The draw in Helsinki thus gives Albania an important opportunity to improve its positions in the group and to aim for the top as the competition continues. RESULT: FINLAND – BELARUS 0-0. San Marino–Albania (20:45).
