Euro 2024 wrap: Greece off to a winning start

Greece got their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign off to a winning start as they eased to a 3-0 victory over Group B minnows Gibraltar.

Two of Ireland's qualifying opponents met at the Estadio Algarve and it took Greece just 11 minutes to open the scoring through Giorgos Masouras.

Further goals from Emmanouil Siopis and Anastasios Bakasetas either side of the break hauled the visitors into second place in the early standings behind France who stormed to a 4-0 victory over the Netherlands.

Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku scored a hat-trick as they claimed a 3-0 win over Sweden which overshadowed Zlatan Ibrahimovic's much-anticipated return to international football in their opening Group F qualifier.

Lukaku broke the deadlock in the 35th, outjumping Hjalmar Ekdal to head home a cross from the left by Dodi Lukebakio, who had tormented the Sweden defence from the kickoff.

The Belgium striker then took advantage of more slack marking to double his side's advantage early in the second half as Lukebakio picked him out again with a low cross which he turned in from close range.

Lukaku then killed the game off as the home defence suffered another collective collapse, leaving him with another tap-in to complete his treble and an easy win for the visitors.

Belgium were kept off the top of their group by Austria, for whom Manchester United's Marcel Sabitzer scored twice in a 4-1 triumph against Azerbaijan.

Sabitzer collected a pass from Christoph Baumgartner in the box and thrashed the ball into the back of the net for the opener just before the half-hour mark.

Austria doubled their advantage a minute later as Michael Gregoritsch scored, before Sabitzer curled a wonderful free-kick into the corner of the net early in the second period.
