Estonia beat Luxembourg to move into second place in Nations League group

Tallinn, Oct 4 (UNI) Estonia defeated Luxembourg 1-0 at Tallinn's A. Le Coq Arena to claim its first victory in the 2026-27 UEFA Nations League and strengthen its position in League C Group 4.

The Saturday's victory lifted Estonia to five points from three matches and moved it into second place in the group, keeping the Baltic side firmly in contention for promotion.
Estonia had entered the match unbeaten but without a victory after opening its campaign with a 1-1 draw away to Iceland and a goalless draw in Bulgaria. Luxembourg, meanwhile, had three points from its opening two matches, according to Xinhua.
With three rounds remaining, Estonia's prospects will largely depend on its next match against group leader Iceland in Tallinn on Tuesday. It will then travel to Luxembourg on November 13 before completing the league phase at home against Bulgaria on November 16.

The group winner earns direct promotion to League B, while the runner-up enters the promotion play-offs, giving Estonia a realistic opportunity to move up from League C if it can maintain its current form.
