Armenia 0-1 Malta
UEFA World Cup Qualifying wrap: England and Belgium profit on a bad night for the Balkans
A bad night for Montenegro, Serbia, and Croatia saw Belgium and England among the teams to profit in the latest round of fixtures in the UEFA World Cup Qualifying.
In a largely meaningless game, Malta nonetheless managed a very impressive win in Armenia, holding out after Michael Mifsud’s early goal.
Azerbaijan 1-1 Luxembourg
A fight between two very small nations ended all square in a match that was of little importance to anyone else.
Finland 1-0 Belarus
Finland earned another fairly impressive but ultimately futile victory, beating Belarus with a solitary goal from Hamaleinen.
Latvia 0-5 Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina ran riot at Latvia, putting five goals past the hosts with Senad Lulic, Vedad Ibisevic, Edin Dzeko, Haris Medunjanin and Miralem Pjanic all on the scoresheet.
A hugely impressive result for the absurdly-tiny Liechtenstein against the only slightly-tiny Slovakia, who got an equaliser through Jan Durica after the hosts took a shock lead.
Moldova 1-1 Poland
The latest in a series of disappointing results for the Poles, Sidorenko’s goal cancelling out Jakub Blaszczykowski’s early opener.
A record-breaking Robbie Keane hat-trick kept Ireland in the hunt for a qualification place as they cruised past the lowest-ranked team in the group.
Albania 1-1 Norway
Another underachieving display from Norway, who were bailed out by a late Tom Hogli equaliser to spare their blushes against Albania.
Iceland 2-4 Slovenia
A largely pointless thriller as Slovenia took the lead early only to find themselves 2-1 down, before Valter Birsa and Rene Krhin sealed an away win.
Lithuania 0-1 Greece
Christodoulopoulos’ 20th-minute goal proved enough for Greece to snatch an away win at Lithuania in what has been a disappointing campaign.
