Round-upInternationals: Jota scores again, mixed fortunes for Szoboszlai and Bradley
Diogo Jota scored again for Portugal in Saturday’s round of international fixtures.
The Liverpool forward was brought off the bench at half-time of his country’s friendly against Croatia and netted three minutes into the second period with a close-range finish.
Jota’s second goal in as many Euro 2024 warm-up matches equalised Luka Modric’s early penalty, though Croatia would go on to win the game 2-1.
Meanwhile, Dominik Szoboszlai captained Hungary to a 3-0 home victory over Israel.
The Reds midfielder was substituted just before the hour but confirmed post-match that his withdrawal was merely a precaution with his side’s European Championship opener a week away.
Szoboszlai told M4 Sport: “I’ll be fine. My legs were a little stiff, I didn’t want to take any risks, that’s why I came off.”
Elsewhere, Conor Bradley was taken off midway through the second half of Northern Ireland’s 5-1 loss away to Spain.
