Pristina, Kosovo – Na wah! Liverpool superstar Alexander Isak don enter pitch but e no fit save Sweden from big shame wey dem experience last night as dem fall for 2-0 against Kosovo for World Cup qualifying. Picture this: Sweden dey try get stable foothold for the group, but dem don collect solid hammer instead.
As dem start match, dem already dey behind by 26th minute thanks to Elvis Rexhbecaj wey just find way to turn ball wey Robin Olsen try block. Na wah! E be like say dem players no dey focus, or dem just dey play ball for fun. Three minutes before dem go take break, Vedat Muriqi don add another goal as dem enter changeover with 2-0 score. Sweden dey here dey pray, but na only God fit save dem now.
Although Isak enter field for 72nd minute (abi dem think say na magic he go do?), e no fit change anything. Instead, dem sit down for pitch dey watch as Arsenal’s Viktor Gyökeres dey struggle from beginning like say na school boys wey no sabi play ball. How dem want win like dat?
Meanwhile, Kosovo don burst with joy as dem climb to second place for Group B, waka with three points for hand. Switzerland dey lead with plenty points after dem chop Slovenia 3-0, so dem no send anybody. Sweden now dey third with one point, only fit smile because of goal difference wey dem dey hold over Slovenia. Na serious matter! Only top team for group fit qualify for finals next year, others go dey play for playoffs. This World Cup no be small play!
But no be only Sweden dey carry wahala. For Hungary, Italy dey jollificate after dem win Israel for 5-4. As dem score two own goals (who send dem?), dem still find way to win the match. Black magic? Na skill! Sandro Tonali come save the day with last-minute goal wey go make anybody wey wan sleep wake up. Gennaro Gattuso, Italy coach, dey wonder how dem ever fit win but him dey happy, of course. “We dey mad, but we go hold on to this win!” e talk. E good say everybody no lose brain!
Denmark dey shine bright like star for Group C as dem hammer Greece 3-0. Mikkel Damsgaard show everybody how to dribble like person wey don dance salsa. E score for 32nd minute wey just scatter the place. By the time Andreas Christensen and Rasmus Hojlund contribute their own goals, dem don settle matter before dem even finish match!
Lastly, for Africa, Tunisia don celebrate big as dem collect last-minute win against Equatorial Guinea after dem score for 94th minute. Dem don first African team join Morocco for World Cup. Na so life be—some dey dance, others dey cry. World Cup dey come, and countries dey ready to show wetin dem fit do!
