Major International friendly results – Aug 22

England 1-2 Germany ( Frank Lampard/ Kevin Kuranyi, Christian Pander)

First loss for England at the new Wembley stadium. Not the best of evenings for Paul Robinson, whose fumbling of Bernd Schneider’s cross paved the way for Germany’s first goal.

Denmark 0-4 Republic of Ireland ( Robbie Keane *2, Shane Long *2) 

Bulgaria 0-1 Wales ( Freddy Eastwood) 

Freddy Eastwood scores on debut- a stunning strike in first half injury time.

Scotland 1-0 South Africa ( Kris Boyd)

In a game which would have seen James Morrison make his debut had it not been for a hamstring injury, substitute Kris Boyd scored the only goal to help Scotland beat the Bafana Bafana 1-0.

Greece 2-3 Spain ( Gekas, Katsouranis/ David Silva *2, Marchena) 

Hungary 3-1 Italy (  Roland Juhasz, Zoltan Gera ( pen), Robert Fecsezin/ Di Natale)

A young Hungarian team stuns World Champions Italy 3-1. Italy were unimpressive after taking the lead early in the second half, and were punished duly.
