Norway's G19 national team completed a convincing first round of the European Championship qualifiers with a 2-1 victory over home team Sweden in Borås. Norway was already ready for the spring's elite round after beating Estonia and Georgia, but the team did not give up until it was the group winner with a full pot. Sweden fought hard in the hope of advancing in the qualifiers, but lost after two late back-to-back goals. First, Noel Sernelius scored an own goal on a corner kick from Andreas Heredia-Randen in the 72nd minute, while Adrian Kurd Rønning doubled the lead in the 81st minute. Zakaria Loukili scored in injury time, but it was too little for the Swedes, who have been knocked out after three straight losses. As the group winner without a loss of points, Norway gets a good seeding in the draw for the elite round. Seven group winners will make it to the playoffs in Romania next summer.

Norwegian wrestling star Exauce Mukubu (23) got his big breakthrough with gold in the U23 World Championships back in 2022. Mukubu has for a long time been considered one of the greatest talents in Norwegian wrestling, and he has, among other things, shown himself in the NRK series "Hodet i klemme". In an interview with Aftenposten, Mukubu says that he is bisexual, and that he told the rest of the national team that he was dating a man this spring. "I felt like I was living a double life," says Mukubu, who until then had hidden who he was with from his teammates. When he told his teammates about it in March, he was met with great understanding, and he received a hug from everyone, writes Aftenposten. "I had expected a slightly different reaction from some on the team. But those reactions did not come. They were supportive. It was incredibly cool and cool," he says to the newspaper.
Spanish football coach Pep Guardiola is extending his contract with Manchester City, according to The Athletic. They write that an official announcement is expected in the coming days. The extension will be for one year, with the possibility of extension for another year. City declined to comment on Tuesday evening, but the BBC writes that several sources confirm the information. The 53-year-old's contract originally expired after the current season, but it looks like Erling Braut Haaland and Oscar Bobb will continue with the same coach next season as well. "I hope he signs a new contract. He has been an important person for me in the first two and a half years at City," Haaland said at a press conference last week. Guardiola has been the coach of the English big club since 2016, and has won six league titles and one Champions League title. At the moment, the Light Blues are in a difficult period after losing four games in a row. They are in second place in the Premier League, five points behind Liverpool.

The Norwegian U21 team had a horrible starting point when their European Championship fate was to be decided. After losing 5-1 in the first of two playoff games against Finland, the return leg on Tuesday was another slump. Norway played 2-1, and thus it is the Finnish neighbors who will go to the U21 European Championship in Slovakia next summer. Norway must watch the championship from home. "It's very sad that we're eliminated. It's boring to go against a team you feel you can beat," says Isak Hansen-Aarøen to NRK. It didn't get any better when Norway had to play the last half hour with one man less. Seedy Jatta received a direct red card for headbutting Odd player Tony Miettinen. "He loses his head," commented TV 2's Haakon Thon. In Stavanger, the home team started best. They put early pressure on the Finns, and only margins prevented them from scoring early. It was goalless until halftime, but ten minutes into the 2nd half, Casper Terho crushed all hope for Norway when he increased to 6-1 on aggregate. Joel Mvuka equalized to 1-1 after 81 minutes, before Marius Broholm made it 2-1 seven minutes later. But it was both too late and too little. Finland could cheer to qualify for its first European Under-21 Championship since 2009. Norway played in the championship last year.

Sweden were already winners of their Level C group in the Nations League before Tuesday's final round. Nevertheless, they waltzed over Azerbaijan, and won 6-0. Tottenham player Dejan Kulusevski started the ball when he made it 1-0 after ten minutes. The big player of the match, however, was Viktor Gyökeres, who was really hungry for goals. Gyökeres got the first goal after a nice cross from Kulusevski, before he also slid in his second to make it 3-0 before halftime. In the second half, Kulusevski scored his second of the day after horrendous Azerbaijani defending, where the white-clad felled each other and were not close to stopping the Swedes. After the kick-off after the 4-0 score, Gyökeres got a gift package when Zamiq Aliyev struggled to receive a pass under pressure. The Swedish top scorer snatched the ball and put it in the goal alone with the goalkeeper. The striker's first hat-trick for the national team, and more to come. After 70 minutes, the same man made it 6-0. "I feel in good shape and I'm hungry for goals. I end up in the right position quite often and try to finish when I'm in the box. Then there will be a lot of goals," Gyökeres told Viaplay. Thus, Gyökere's Erling Braut passes Haaland as the top scorer in the Nations League, with nine goals to Haaland's seven. Also at Portuguese Sporting, the Swede has scored goals this season. He has 23 goals in 18 games for the club team.
