Eze is in England’s squad for the first time for their Euro qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.

Portugal were in the playoffs having blown the last match of the group phase at home to Serbia, but they made no mistake in the playoffs.

The Fernando Santos’s side overcame Republic of Turkey in last week’s playoff semi-final to advance to this stage.

The fifth victory in five matches under new coach Hansi Flick, matching the record of predecessor Joachim Loew, has given Germany an unassailable lead at the top of Group J.

The Netherlands had already won the group before the match and North Macedonia was already eliminated after losing its first two matches at its first major tournament.

North Macedonia took the lead in the Group J match in Duisburg, Germany as 37-year-old forward Goran Pandev was the scorer for the visitors in the first half’s injury time.
