England had an overwhelming victory over Macedonia thanks to the brilliance of the stars, in which striker Bukayo Saka contributed a hat-trick.

Considered weaker, Macedonia was the team that actively played defensive counter-attacks. However, Macedonia's defense system encountered many difficulties when England with a star-studded squad deployed a pressing game. However, in the first 25 minutes, England did not create many truly dangerous opportunities.

It was not until the 29th minute that England opened the scoring after Harry Kane's shot. Then, Bukayo Saka (38') and Marcus Rashford (45') scored to widen the gap before the end of the first half.

In the second half, Bukayo Saka continued to shine to complete his hat-trick with two quick goals from the 47th to the 51st minute. After that, midfielder Kalvin Phillips (64') and Harry Kane (73'-pen) contributed two more goals, bringing a resounding 7-0 victory to the England team.

With this victory, England continues to lead Group C with 12 absolute points after 4 matches.

* Also playing in this match, the French team had to struggle to get a minimal 1-0 victory over Greece. The only goal of the French team was scored by Mbappe in the 55th minute of the match. Even when playing with one more player from the 69th minute because Greek center-back Mavropanos received a second yellow card and left the field, the "Galician roosters" could not score another goal and the match ended with a result of 1-0.
