Finland qualify for the European Championships

Norwich star Teemu Pukki scored twice as Finland qualified for a major tournament for the first time in their history as they make it to Euro 2020.

Finland were the only Scandinavian country never to make it to an international tournament but they changed that over the weekend. A draw was all that was required to qualify for the tournament when bottom of Group J Liechtenstein came to Helsinki. Finland made easy work of of it and ran out 3-0 winners thanks to two from Pukki.

Pukki has been a crucial part of their campaign having already scored nine goals in nine games.

Finnish fans partied through the night singing Pukki’s name and the party probably won’t end until next summers tournament.

Despite there being one game left, Finland can only finish second in the group behind Italy. This means that they could be drawn with England when the tournament kicks off next summer.
