Adam Obert scored his first goal for Slovakia. The Cagliari defender broke the deadlock in the World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg in the 55th minute: a match that was becoming challenging, despite the team at the bottom of the table with zero points. Following a corner kick from the right by former Verona player Duda, the 2002-born Rossoblu player turned his right foot in the center of the area, and the ball, passing through a multitude of legs, ended up in the back of the net. The match ended 2-0, and Slovakia moved to nine points, tied with Germany.

This is Obert's second career goal, the other coming last season in Cagliari's 4-1 win over Lecce on January 19th . At youth level, he also scored one for the Slovakia Under-21s. After today's match, the defender will return to Sardinia and should be available again for Fabio Pisacane ( who resumes training tomorrow ) from Wednesday ahead of the Serie A restart on Sunday against Bologna (3 p.m.).

Of Cagliari's five internationals, Zito Luvumbo also played today: 90 minutes in Cameroon-Angola's 0-0 draw , a game that had no bearing on his side, who have already been eliminated from next year's World Cup. Cape Verde qualified from their group, achieving a feat for the first time.

Tomorrow - Tuesday - the three Under-21s finish: Riyad Idrissi and Marco Palestra in Italy-Armenia at 6:15 pm, Semih Kılıçsoy in Hungary-Türkiye at 7 pm.
