Former Netherlands midfielder Van Bommel was taking charge of the Red Devils for the first time, while Mancini was starting his second spell as Azzurri boss. "We need to think positively and not keep banging on all the time about what has happened in the past," Mancini said when asked if Italy's failure to qualify for the World Cup was still hanging over the nation. "In any case we can't change what happened now," added Mancini, who also said that boos by the home fans in the crowd of almost 50,000 were "normal" and "part of the game". Mancini was previously Italy coach between 2018 and 2023 and led them to victory at Euro 2020. Paris St-Germain's Mika Godts scored his first Belgium goal, cutting inside two defenders in the box before firing in. Benfica's Dodi Lukebakio then ran from his own half before blasting in their second goal from 25 yards. Mancini brought on Sporting's Issa Doumbia and Nuremberg's Mohamed Ali Zoma for their international debuts late on. The pair were team-mates for Serie C side AlbinoLeffe as recently as 2023-24.

Shea Charles' 99th-minute winner gave Michael O'Neill's side a first ever win at this level of the competition with the midfielder poking home past Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. The late goal came only after Charles' younger brother Pierce had saved Paris St-Germain star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's second-half penalty. The Queens Park Rangers loanee also denied Otar Kiteishvili and Georges Mikautadze with second-half saves to preserve what was Northern Ireland's first competitive clean sheet away from home since October 2024. The visitors were playing at this level of the competition for the first time in six years after 2024 promotion from League C in a game that Uefa ordered to be played behind closed doors after crowd trouble at Georgia's home fixture with Armenia in March 2025. However, it was then decided that around 60 Northern Ireland fans who had booked tickets before the announcement of the sanctions were to be admitted. Then it was said that thousands of Georgian schoolchildren could also attend.

Liverpool's £125m striker Isak opened the scoring in the 20th minute before Arsenal's Gyokeres doubled Sweden's lead just before half-time. Isak, who has kicked the season off with four goals in five Premier League games, was played in behind by Brighton's Yasin Ayari before finishing expertly beyond Romania goalkeeper Ionut Radu. Romania's Dennis Man pegged Sweden back nine minutes after Isak's opener, before Gyokeres struck to reinstate the hosts' lead. Gyokeres has only appeared twice from the bench in Arsenal's opening five Premier League games but he was alert to Radu's poor goalkeeping to take a touch and finish from close range. The win leaves Sweden at the top of League B Group 4 with a home game against Poland to come on Monday night.

Lisandro Martinez's bizarre own goal at Craven Cottage had looked set to condemn the visitors to a third consecutive defeat. However, with just a minute of the 90 remaining, Cunha's shot from 20 yards took a wicked deflection off Fulham centre-back David Affengruber, wrongfooted goalkeeper Bernd Leno and found the corner of the net. It was particularly harsh on Leno, who had made a number of big saves as United pushed for a leveller. Michael Carrick's side at least avoid a third loss in a week, but head into the international break in 12th place, having taken just five points from their first five games, while Fulham are 19th on two points. After an even start, United gradually looked to be taking control of an engaging first half with Bruno Fernandes inches away from an opener when his shot came back off the post from Cunha's cutback. But that scare seemed to wake Fulham up, and for the next 10 minutes it felt like a different game with the sides taking turns to pour forward and chances at both ends, Josh King and Oscar Bobb coming close for the hosts while Cunha's long-range effort was deflected and looped over Leno before coming back off the post. United forward Marcus Rashford volleyed a great chance over late in the half but the game stayed goalless. After a turgid start to the second half, the game was jolted into life when United goalkeeper Senne Lammens made a mess of Calvin Bassey's low shot before Martinez's poor touch sent the ball into his own net with the Belgian scrambling. From there it was all United, with Leno at full stretch to deny Bryan Mbeumo and Cunha as Alvaro Arbeloa's side tried to cling on. But eventually the goal, that United's response deserved, arrived to leave both teams a little disappointed to end the day with just a point.

Enzo Fernandez put City in front after nine minutes with his first goal since his £125m move from Chelsea, whipping a free-kick in at the near post. But Sunderland, who had started brightly, soon responded as Enzo le Fee picked out Brian Brobbey with a brilliant pass and the Netherlands striker slipped the ball past Gianluigi Donnarumma. Sunderland remained more than a match for Enzo Maresca's side but were caught trying to play out from the back and ruthlessly punished as the ball was worked to Rayan Cherki, who finished smartly into the bottom corner. Again the Black Cats hit back though, with Le Fee splitting the defence again, this time to Thomas Meunier, who unselfishly squared for Brobbey to finish into an empty net. A lengthy VAR check for offside followed but the goal was given and it was no more than Sunderland deserved. The visitors dropped off slightly as the first half progressed, allowing City sustained possession in the Sunderland half for the first time. They retook the lead two minutes from half-time through Antoine Semenyo's sweetly-struck shot after Sunderland failed to deal with a cross from the right. For once, Regis le Bris' team could not muster a quick reply and City should have doubled their lead in first-half injury time only for Erling Haaland to skew his shot wide with the goal gaping after good work by Iliman Ndiaye. The second half began rather more calmly and City's fourth came from nothing, and with a little fortune, as Marc Guehi's pass - intended for Haaland - found its way to Semenyo, who drilled a left-foot shot into the far corner. Just two minutes later, Sunderland were back in it as Granit Xhaka's clever pass found Nilson Angulo and he put the ball across goal for Brobbey to bundle it home and complete his first senior hat-trick. City tried to take the sting out of the game, controlling possession to decent effect, but Sunderland were going nowhere and Donnarumma already gifted them the equaliser. The Italy goalkeeper failed to claim a high ball into the box, Ruben Dias' loose touch saw the ball bounce back towards goal and the City captain had to be quick to recover and hook it off the line. Donnarumma looked suspect again from the long throw-in that followed but City survived and finally put the game to bed nine minutes from time as Haaland slid in at the back post to convert Josko Gvardiol's cross. As with his goal at Old Trafford last weekend, it was initially flagged offside but Gvardiol had timed his run to perfection and the decision was overturned. It means Haaland has now scored against every Premier League side he has faced, while City - despite an uncomfortable afternoon - go into the international break top of the pile with a 100% record.
