Uefa European U 19 Championship (II) - France with a foot in Semi-Finals. Russia without chances.

Final tournament - Group phase

Group A: Greece, Portugal, Austria and Spain
Group B: Germany, Russia, France and Serbia

Today 18/07/07
Group A
Spain 1 - 1 Portugal [1-0 Aarón 54' (pen); 1-1 Daniel Carriço 71']
Austria 1 - 1 Greece [0-1 Mitroglou 15'; 1-1 Beichler 61' (pen)

1. Spain 4 p 3-1 (goals)
2. Greece 4 p 2-1
3. Portugal 1 p 1-2
4. Austria 1 p 1-3

Any of these countries can be qualified yet, but not Austria and Portugal at same time. A draw within Spain-Greece is enough to both. Portugal and Austria needs to beat the other (and may be with an advantage superior than one goal) and wait for a victory (no draw) in the other match.

Group B
Russia 2 - 6 Serbia [0-1 Marjonovic 11'; 0-2 Bosancic 24'; 1-2 Duadyun 42'; 1-4 Tadic (2) 47' and 57'; 2-4 Dyadyun 60'; 2-6 Marinkovic (2) 80' and 88']
Germany 1 - 1 France [1-0 Özil 5'; 1-1 Beysse 72']

1. France 4 points 6-3 goals
2. Germany 4 p 4-3
3. Serbia 3 p 8-7
4. Russia 0 p 4-9

Russia is without any chances to qualify. France is pratically qualified unless they lose against Russia and for several goals. Germany and Serbia will dispute the other place. A draw to the Germans is enough.

July 16 - First Day
Group A
Greece 1 - 0 Portugal [Mitroglou 52']
