    Senne Lammens (Belgium)
    November 2025

    Senne Lammens marked his Belgium debut with a clean sheet in a 7-0 demolition of Liechtenstein that sealed World Cup qualification, watching mostly from distance as his team produced a ruthless attacking display that turned early dominance into a complete second half avalanche. Hans Vanaken’s early header from a Youri Tielemans cross settled nerves before Alexis Saelemaekers and Jeremy Doku stretched the lead before half time, then goals from Brandon Mechele, Saelemaekers again and a Charles De Ketelaere brace finished the job while Lammens faced just one real save.

    Italy’s World Cup hopes took another hit as they collapsed to a 4-1 defeat at San Siro after leading at half-time. Pio Esposito’s opener briefly raised belief they could chase an unlikely automatic spot, but Norway’s response killed any remaining optimism. Norway hit back through Antonio Nusa before Erling Haaland struck twice and Jorgen Strand Larsen added a ruthless fourth, exposing Italian fragility. Gennaro Gattuso admitted fear gripped his players after the break, while Gianluigi Donnarumma lamented Italy stopped playing with the intensity shown before half-time.

    Germany crushed Slovakia 6-0 to book their ticket to the 2026 World Cup, banishing memories of a poor campaign and a previous 2-0 loss by roaring into an early lead and never allowing the visitors any route back into the match. Nick Woltemade’s opener settled nerves before Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane made it three by half time, with Florian Wirtz pulling strings throughout. Ridle Baku added a fifth and teenager Assan Ouedraogo scored a deflected sixth as Nagelsmann’s side produced one of their most dominant displays in years.

    Nigeria’s World Cup hopes ended in a 4 3 penalty shootout defeat to DR Congo after a 1 1 draw, with coach Eric Chelle expressing frustration that his side again missed out on the finals and insisting the tense decider slipped away in cruel fashion. Chelle confronted Congo staff after Chancel Mbemba scored the decisive kick, later alleging a member of the opposing bench repeatedly performed what he described as voodoo gestures during penalties, claims that added controversy to an already emotional elimination as Congo advanced to intercontinental play offs.

    Erling Haaland (Norway)
    November 2025

    Erling Haaland admitted he feels huge responsibility to deliver World Cup qualification for Norway after scoring 14 of their 33 goals in seven straight wins that have put Stale Solbakken’s side top of Group I and on the verge of a first finals since 1998. He recalled Norway’s last World Cup in the United States with his father Alf Inge Haaland involved and said returning there would be special motivation, vowing to give everything in Milan to finish the job and write new history for his country on the global stage.

    Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon)
    CAF play-off defeat to DR Congo for 2026 World Cup

    Cameroon’s hopes of reaching the 2026 World Cup collapsed in stoppage time as DR Congo snatched a 1-0 play-off win, sending the Indomitable Lions home and leaving Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon), one of their standout performers, visibly crushed after a gruelling qualifying campaign.
    After finishing second in their group behind Cape Verde, Cameroon struggled to break down DR Congo in a tense knockout match before Chancel Mbemba (DR Congo) headed a late winner from a corner. Footage showed Mbeumo walking off alone in heavy rain toward the tunnel, needing consoling on one of the hardest nights of his international career.

    Haaland sets unique UCL scoring streak across three clubs

    Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
    November 2025

    Haaland became the first player to score in five consecutive Champions League games for three different clubs, netting City’s second after Phil Foden’s opener. The milestone follows prior five-game streaks with Salzburg and Dortmund, underscoring his sustained European efficiency. City manipulated wide isolations through Jeremy Doku to penetrate Dortmund’s block, creating predictable cutback lanes Haaland attacks best. With City unbeaten in the group, his movement across the near-post and penalty-spot channels continues to convert low-touch, high-xG sequences into reliable returns.

    Maresca slams Chelsea after 2-2 at Qarabag

    Chelsea
    November 2025

    Enzo Maresca criticised his side’s execution in both boxes after a 2-2 draw at Qarabag. Estevao’s opener was overturned by two Qarabag goals before Alejandro Garnacho equalised. Dominance in territory and shots failed to translate into a decisive third goal. Errors compounded the drop in control: Jorrel Hato’s handball led to a penalty, defensive lapses conceded high-value looks, and chance conversion lagged despite sustained pressure. Maresca highlighted lapses in concentration and physical sharpness, demanding ruthlessness ahead of the group’s tightening table.

    Arsenal equal 105-year defensive record with 3-0 win at Slavia Prague

    Arsenal
    November 2025

    Arsenal posted an eighth straight win without conceding, matching the English top-flight record set by Preston in 1889 and Liverpool in 1920. Bukayo Saka scored from the spot before Mikel Merino, deputising for Viktor Gyokeres, struck twice to seal a controlled away victory. Arteta’s side compressed space, broke lines with early diagonals, and suffocated counters. The clean-sheet streak began on October 1 versus Olympiacos and now spans West Ham, Fulham, Crystal Palace, Atletico Madrid and Burnley. They last conceded on September 28 against Newcastle and are on a 10-match winning run.

    AFCON release flashpoint for Salah and Marmoush

    November 2025

    Egypt scheduled a Nigeria friendly one week before AFCON. Liverpool and City are reluctant to release Salah and Marmoush for mid-December, prioritizing league congestion. Both will depart for Morocco 2025, potentially missing seven to eight club matches through January 18, 2026. Clubs cite fixture pile-up and injury risk after two-day turnarounds. City project Marmoush’s first absence from the Dec 16 EFL Cup; Liverpool anticipate Salah missing the Dec 20 Spurs trip. Arsenal and Chelsea unaffected. Expect negotiations on reporting dates; CAF regulations still govern final release windows.
