Round-upInternationals: Hugo Ekitike scores first senior goal as France qualify for the World Cup

The Liverpool forward came off the bench and rounded off Les Bleus’ 4-0 win over Ukraine with a driving run and smart finish late on. Victory at Parc des Princes – where Ibrahima Konate was an unused substitute – secured top spot in qualifying Group B for France.

Meanwhile, Dominik Szoboszlai assisted Hungary’s goal in their crucial 1-0 away victory over Armenia.

Szoboszlai, captaining a team also including Milos Kerkez, delivered a superb cross for Barnabas Varga to head home the winner.

Hungary now sit two points behind Group F leaders Portugal ahead of their final qualifier, against the Republic of Ireland in Budapest, on Sunday. Ireland, who beat Portugal 2-0 in Dublin on Thursday, are one point adrift of Hungary.

At U21 level, Kieran Morrison played 75 minutes of Northern Ireland’s 1-0 win versus Latvia in European Championship qualifying, while Armin Pecsi started as Hungary beat Faroe Islands 3-0 in a friendly.
