At dawn on Wednesday (13th), Group A of the Europa League qualifiers began with a fierce battle. Norway beat Georgia 2-1 with goals from Einin Chalant and Martin Odigat to close in on Spain, who are second in the group. Whether Charlant, who has previously shone in club competitions, can continue to shine in international competitions will be seen in next month's European outing with Norway against Spain.
Just 25 minutes into the first half, Ainin Charant capitalized on an opportunity to score with a header from close range. Then, eight minutes later, Martin Odigat added a second to increase the lead to 2-0, notably thanks to a pinpoint assist from 18-year-old star Newsha. Georgia, on the other hand, only managed to break the deadlock in stoppage time.
Meanwhile, Spain, in the same group, beat Cyprus 6-0 at home. Barcelona's talented 16-year-old Yemma became the youngest player to start and score in the history of the Spanish team, and then became the youngest player to start in the history of the team. However, the wing forward did not score again, but Ferentolis, who came on for him, scored twice, and another Barcelona player, Gavi, also contributed a goal.
