In late March, the Red Lions had a home friendly against the Faroe Islands, winning 1-0. They had sixteen shots but only managed to take the lead in the eighty-first minute. The national team lost their first Euro 2024 qualifying match in London, England, with a score of 0-2. The yellow-blue team struggled in the latter part of the first half, conceding two goals and not creating any chances in attack (zero shots on target). If not for Trubin, who made six saves, the scoreline would have been much more significant.
