Peterborough United internationals in action against Spain, Italy and Germany

He was involved in Cyprus’s final European Championship qualifier at home to Spain on Thursday (November 16).

It was a nightmare start for the Cypriots but as they fell 3-0 down within 28 minutes due to goals from 16-year-old Lamine Yamal, Mikel Oyarzabal and Joselu. They did, however, manage a goal in the second half and ended the night in Kolossi with a respectable 3-1 defeat.

Katongo was an unused substitute.
