Shortly before that, Alex Popp had intercepted a goal kick from the Cologne goalkeeper and launched the attack with her cross into the box.<\/p>\nAfter that, the Borussia women pressed for more goals. Long-range shots by Ostermeier (63rd minute) and a volley by Schumacher (70th minute) either missed the goal or were saved by the in-form goalkeeper. So it was once again a corner kick by Rita Schumacher that found its way into the opponent\u2019s net via Lara Schmidt\u20143\u20130 in the 71st minute.<\/span><\/p>\nEight minutes later, Ann-Sophie Vogel broke through on the left wing.

After two shutout victories against North Macedonia and Scotland, Gregor Kobel conceded a goal for the first time this tournament. As early as the second minute, Slovenia\u2019s Zan Vipotnik was given too much space in the penalty area and slotted the ball into the left corner.<\/p>\nSwitzerland, however, did not let this unsettle them and turned the game around before halftime to secure a 2-1 victory.

After the teenager made his international debut for the U.S. last Sunday, the forward went one better on Tuesday evening (local time): In the U.S. friendly against Chile at Energizer Park in St. Louis, Missouri, Albert came on as a substitute in the 71st minute. In stoppage time, the BVB player then scored the much-celebrated goal that sealed a 4-2 victory for his team.<\/p>\nAt the age of 17 years, four months, and eight days, he became the youngest goal scorer in U.S. international soccer history! Incidentally, with his record-breaking goal, Mathis Albert surpassed a certain Christian Pulisic, who became the youngest U.S. goal scorer in 2016 and was also under contract with Borussia Dortmund at the time. Albert has now beaten that age record by 122 days.<\/p>\n<h2>Kobel Keeps Another Clean Sheet<\/h2>\nGregor Kobel seems unbeatable right now. The BVB goalkeeper, who most recently kept clean sheets in the Bundesliga against Paderborn (3-0) and Stuttgart (1-0), kept another clean sheet in the second group stage match of the UEFA Nations League. \n<\/p>\nIn his Swiss national team\u2019s convincing 3-0 victory over Scotland, Kobel didn\u2019t have too much to do. The Swiss played with a man advantage starting in the 11th minute after Scotland\u2019s Jack Hendry was shown a red card and conceded virtually nothing defensively. As a result, Gregor Kobel enjoyed a relaxed evening and, at the same time, recorded his fourth consecutive competitive match without conceding a goal. Switzerland\u2019s next match is at home against Slovenia on 3 October.<\/p>\nMeanwhile, BVB prospect Enzo dos Santos suffered a crushing defeat. The 17-year-old and his Luxembourg national team lost 0-3 to Iceland. Dos Santos came on as a substitute midway through the second half, making his sixth senior international appearance.<\/p>\n<h2>Bensebaini\u2019s Algerians Stumble in Qualifiers \n<\/h2>\nThe Algerian national team entered their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Burundi as heavy favorites. After a disastrous start to the match, Algeria\u2014with Ramy Bensebaini once again starting at center back\u2014found themselves trailing 0\u20132. In the end, the North Africans managed to salvage a 2\u20132 draw, thereby at least defending their top spot in the qualifying group. \n<\/p>\nBensebaini\u2019s defensive partner from Dortmund\u2014Joane Gadou\u2014fared better. The BVB summer signing played for the French U21 national team in their European Championship qualifier in Estonia on Tuesday evening. He played the full 90 minutes in the Équipe Tricolore\u2019s comfortable 2-0 away victory, picking up a yellow card in the first half.<\/p>\n<h2>Svensson's Sweden Keeps the Points at Home<\/h2>\nDaniel Svensson has long since established himself as a starting fullback on the Swedish national team. On Monday evening, he once again played the full 90 minutes for the Scandinavians in their second UEFA Nations League group stage match, as they faced Poland in front of a home crowd in Solna. \n<\/p>\nSweden put on a strong performance, just as they had three days earlier against Romania (2-1), and secured a 3-1 victory thanks to an improved showing in the second half. Although Daniel Svensson and the team conceded a goal before halftime, he was, as usual, hard-working and covered a lot of ground at right back. Among other things, he won 71 percent of his tackles.  \n<\/p>\n<h2>Kaua Prates celebrates with the U-20 Selecao<\/h2>\nMeanwhile, Kaua Prates was once again in action for the Brazilian U-20 national team. The 18-year-old was in the Selecao\u2019s starting lineup for the friendly against the Danish U-20s and played for about an hour as a center back. With Brazil leading 3\u20131 at halftime, the young BVB defender was substituted midway through the second half; Brazil ultimately defeated the Danes 4\u20131.<\/p>\nSamuele Inacio is currently with the Italian senior national team.
