With club football taking a break, international football occupied centre stage this week - and delivered. Apart from FIFA World Cup qualifiers and Nations League fixtures, there were plenty of International friendly games - some with eye-catching results.
ESPN's By the Numbers has the best stats from the weekend:
International Friendlies
17y 246d and 1
Aged 17 years and 246 days, Endrick became the youngest male player to score a senior international goal at Wembley, and also the fourth-youngest player to ever score for Brazil. Only Pele (16y 256d), Edu (16y 306d) and Ronaldo (17y 228d) were younger when they scored for Brazil.
1
Brazil's 1-0 win against England was their first at Wembley since 1995. Back then, Juninho Paulista, Ronaldo and Edmundo scored after England took the lead to win 3-1.
6
Austria's Christoph Baumgartner scored 6 seconds into the game against Slovakia, the fastest goal in men's international football. It's yet to be ratified, however, and can't lay a finger on the fastest-ever goal scored in competitive football - Marc Burrows in 2.56 seconds.
999d and 7s
Toni Kroos made his return for Germany after last playing on June 29, 2021, exactly 999 days ago. He then proceeded to assist a goal seven seconds into the game - the fastest by a German man.
3
That Kroos assist was to Florian Wirtz, whose goal in the seventh second of the game was only the third time in France's history that they had conceded a first-minute goal (April 2, 1923 against the Netherlands and June 16, 1982 against England)
2
Germany won consecutive games against France for the first time since 2013-14 (all comps). Germany had not defeated France by a multi-goal difference since the 1986 World Cup semifinal (also 2-0).
1
Colombia recorded its first-ever win against Spain with a 1-0 win and is now unbeaten in 12 consecutive games against European opposition (and unbeaten in 20 games overall). Their last defeat to a UEFA nation was in 2011...against Spain.
12
Since his debut in 2018, only James Rodriguez (13) has been involved in more goals than Luis Diaz (12) for Colombia.
17y 60d
Pau Cubarsi became the second-youngest player to represent Spain, aged 17y and 60d - beating Gavi by two days, while Lamine Yamal holds the record at 16y 57d.
6
Colombia's victory over Spain snapped a run of six consecutive wins for the European nation - which was their best streak since 2017.
495d
Guglielmo Vicario's debut for Italy saw them field a goalkeeper other than Gianluigi Donnarumma for the first time in 495 days.
4
San Marino became the first European nation to lose four consecutive matches they have scored in.

Concacaf Nations League
3
The USA won their third Concacaf Nations League title in 3 tournaments (2019-20, 2022-23, 2023-24) with a 2-0 win over Mexico (which is also the most common scoreline in games between the two teams).
7
The USA are unbeaten (5W, 2D) in their last seven games against Mexico - the longest unbeaten streak in history against their rivals.
2 and 29.3
Tyler Adams scored only his second goal in 38 appearances for the USMNT - and both have come against Mexico (also scored the game-winner on Sept. 11, 2018 in a friendly vs Mexico). His goal from 29.3 yards out was the farthest distance from which he's ever scored.
30s, 25y
Greg Leigh scored 30 seconds in for Jamaica in their CNL semifinal against the United States, the fastest goal from kickoff against the USMNT this century. The USA had last conceded such an early goal in 1998, when Netherlands' Ronald de Boer scored in the 2nd minute - 25+ years ago.
1
Haji Wright became the first USMNT player to score multiple goals in injury time.
