The ISF EuroCup 2022 is currently underway in Chisinau, Moldova, and has already produced some exciting games and surprising results.
In the opening match, the hosts Moldova beat former world champions Germany 2-1 with goals from Plamadeala and Mita. The win gave the Moldovan team a great start to the tournament and boosted their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages.
In Group B, Croatia played out a hard-fought 1-1 draw against World Cup runners-up Kazakhstan. With neither side managing to secure a win in their opening game, the group is still wide open and all four teams have a chance of progressing to the next round.
One of the standout teams of the tournament so far has been new side Albania. The team has impressed with their attacking flair and tenacity, drawing 2-2 against Romania in a hard-fought encounter. They had earlier started the tournament with a resounding 5-0 victory over Luxembourg to top Group C.
However, it has not been all positive news for every team. Ireland became the first team to exit the competition after suffering narrow losses to Georgia and Cyprus. Despite putting in valiant efforts, they were unable to secure any points and were knocked out of the tournament.
Today could be a pivotal day in the tournament, as Hungary is set to play two mouth-watering matches against the hosts Moldova and Germany. With both matches expected to be fiercely contested, it could have a significant impact on the outcome of Group A.
Day three of the tournament kicks off this afternoon with a game between Kazakhstan and France. It promises to be another exciting encounter as both teams look to secure their first win of the tournament.
