Dibling Provides Assist in England Under-21s Victory

Tyler Dibling picked up his first assist for England Under-21s in his maiden competitive appearance for Lee Carsley's side in a 2-0 win over Kazakhstan in Aktobe.

The new signing from Southampton set up England's second goal midway through the first half of their first UEFA European Under-21 Championship Group D qualifier, with his inswinging corner finding the unmarked Jobe Bellingham who headed home from close range to double the Young Lions' lead.

Ethan Nwaneri had given England the lead six minutes earlier, finding the bottom corner with a first-time effort from the edge of the area. Dibling was replaced in the 62nd minute by Crystal Palace's Romain Esse.

Meanwhile, Beto picked up his eighth international cap as Guinea-Bissau defeated Djibouti 2-0 in a World Cup Group A qualifier.

The striker came off the bench in the 62nd minute, with Guinea-Bissau leading 1-0 at the time, replacing Folgado Monteiro of Portuguese side Portimonense. Goals from Iano Imbene and Fali Cande secured all three points in Bissau.

The result means that Guinea-Bissau still have a slim chance of qualifying for next year's tournament in North America. With two matches remaining, they could still finish second in Group A. However, with the four best group-runners up out of nine qualifying for the play-offs, the necessary points total may prove to be unattainable for the Djurtus, even if they win both remaining matches.
