International round-up!

As they prepare for this summer's Euro U21 tournament, Romania hosted Portugal on Friday 24 March. Alfonso Sousa (24’) and Pedro Neto (36’) scored the goals for Portugal. Bordeaux's Alexi Pitu started the game and played 83 minutes. Romania will now face Germany on Tuesday 28 March at 6pm.

On Friday Cameroon were held to a draw by Namibia (1-1) in Yaoundé, despite dominating throughout (71% possession, 18 shots on goal). After Peter Shalulile put the visitors ahead in the first half (26'), the Indomitable Lions at least avoided catastrophe by equalising in the second half courtesy of Olivier Kemen (73e), from a free-kick skillfully taken by Pierre Kunde. Malcom Bokele started the game and was subbed off at half time. Rigobert Song's side still lead qualifying Group C at this point, two points ahead of Namibia. The return leg will be played this Tuesday 28 March in Namibia.

France U20s continued their preparations for the U20 World Cup (to be held in Indonesia from 20 May to 11 June of this year) with a friendly against the Netherlands in Marbella (Spain).  Les Bleuets suffered their first defeat of the season (1-2).  Ange-Yoan Bonny gave them an early lead (17’), and despite France's midfield domination Myron van Brederode managed to score twice for the Dutch (1-1, 40’, then 1-2, 47’) Junior Mwanga came on as a substitute in the 69th minute, in the centre of defence. Landry Chauvin's side are still in Marbella and have another friendly to look forward to on Tuesday 28 March, this time against England.

Georgia took on Mongolia in a friendly this Saturday. The Crusaders showed no mercy to the Mongolians, thrashing the visitors 6-1. Bordeaux man Zuriko Davitashvili came on in the 64th minute. Georgia will now face Norway on Tuesday 28 March, kick-off 6pm.
