Finland 8-0 San Marino

Finland defeated San Marino 8-0 to record both their biggest win in a competitive international and their first points in Group E.

Although Finland only had Mika Väyrynen's goal to show for their first-half efforts, they were far more clinical in a second period. Mikael Forssell struck a hat-trick, Kasper Hämäläinen scored twice and substitutes Roni Porokara and Jari Litmanen, 39, also found the net as the hosts trumped their previous widest margin of victory, a 7-1 success against Luxembourg during FIFA World Cup qualifying in September 1976.

Denmark 2-0 Cyprus

Denmark were able to mark their 100th UEFA European Championship qualifier with victory as they overcame Cyprus 2-0 in Copenhagen.

Morten Olsen's side were on top throughout, but the contest was still goalless at the break and it needed second-half strikes from substitute Morten Rasmussen – who scored within three minutes of his introduction – and Kasper Lorentzen to secure the win. Following Friday's 3-1 loss to Portugal, Denmark now possess six points from three outings in Group H, while Cyprus are languishing on one.

England 0-0 Montenegro

England and Montenegro remain unbeaten in UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying but neither side can claim absolute authority over Group G following a goalless draw at Wembley.

Zlatko Kranjčar's visitors started and finished the day top of the section by three points after a disciplined display in London, albeit having played a game more than England. Three successive 1-0 wins had catapulted them to the summit and, despite enjoying scant possession, they so nearly made it four in a row when Milan Jovanović struck the bar late on during a frustrating evening for their hosts.

Switzerland 4-1 Wales

Switzerland finally got their UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying up and running with a convincing victory against Wales, whose third consecutive Group G defeat leaves them bottom of the section without a point.

Marco Streller's 21st-minute strike sent the hosts in at the break in front after Gareth Bale's equaliser had cancelled out an early opener from Valentin Stocker. Gökhan Inler's 82nd-minute spot kick and a late second from Stocker means Ottmar Hitzfeld's team can now begin their pursuit of England and Montenegro in earnest, while Wales will seek to get off the mark when they resume their campaign in March.

Greece 2-1 Israel

Greece replaced Croatia at the top of UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying Group F after a hard-earned 2-1 victory against Israel in Athens.

Dimitris Salpingidis put Fernando Santos's team men ahead in the 22nd minute with a neat lofted finish but Israel levelled 14 minutes after half-time when Greek defender Nikos Spyropoulos turned Roberto Colautti's cross past his own goalkeeper, Michalis Sifakis. However, Greece captain Giorgos Karagounis slotted home from the penalty spot just after the hour mark to clinch three points for the hosts, who now lead Croatia by a single point at the section summit.

Latvia 1-1 Georgia

Georgia remain unbeaten in UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying, but Temuri Ketsbaia's side were on course to top Group F before Aleksandrs Cauņa's late equaliser for Latvia.

A minute into added time, Kristaps Grebis nodded the ball down to Skonto FC midfielder Cauņa, and he produced a fine scissor-kick to deny Georgia all three points. David Siradze had put the visitors ahead on 74 minutes, scoring from close range after Ucha Lobzhanidze flicked Jano Ananidze's free-kick into his path.

San Marino 0-2 Moldova

A first-half goal from Nicolae Josan and a late penalty for substitute Anatolie Doroş rewarded a positive display for Moldova, with defeat leaving San Marino bottom of UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying Group E.

Moldova created plenty of chances in Serravalle, but received a substantial helping hand from the home side for both their goals. After 20 minutes San Marino goalkeeper Aldo Simoncini failed to hold on to Alexandru Suvarov's corner, with Josan pouncing to finish from close range. Simone Bacchiocchi's foul on Alexei Savinov then gave fellow replacement Doroş an opportunity he duly took from the spot.

Netherlands 4-1 Sweden

The Netherlands maintained their perfect record in UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying Group E with a convincing win against Sweden.

Two goals each from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Ibrahim Afellay put the game beyond the visitors to Amsterdam, who did at least manage a consolation through Andreas Granqvist. The Netherlands, who have now won their last 12 qualifying fixtures, are three points ahead of Hungary with Sweden a similar distance further back, holding a game in hand.

Finland 1-2 Hungary

Balász Dzsudzsák struck a dramatic winner four minutes into added time in Finland as Hungary made it three wins from four outings in Group E.

Sándor Egervári's team looked to have been denied when Mikael Forssell cancelled out Ádám Szalai's opening goal with time running out. Yet after surviving a major scare when Finland substitute Shefki Kuqi fired narrowly wide the visitors broke on the counterattack and Dzsudzsák was on hand to made it 2-1 with virtually the last kick of the game.

France 2-0 Luxembourg

France recorded their third consecutive UEFA EURO 2012 win and a second in three days as goals from Karim Benzema and Yoann Gourcuff accounted for ten-man Luxembourg.

Having secured a confidence-boosting victory against Romania at the weekend, Laurent Blanc's team consolidated their position at the top of qualifying Group D with a comfortable triumph over the bottom team. The outcome rarely seemed in doubt from the moment Benzema struck midway through the first half and, after the visitors lost captain René Peters to a red card, Gourcuff made sure of the points on 76 minutes.

Belarus 2-0 Albania

Belarus ended Albania's unbeaten run with a dominant performance that earned them a valuable victory in UEFA EURO 2008 qualifying Group D.

Estonia 0-1 Slovenia

Fresh from their 3-1 win against Serbia, Estonia were brought down to earth by Slovenia who left Tallinn with a 1-0 win courtesy of Andrei Sidorenkov's 67th-minute own goal.

Estonia had high hopes of collecting a third victory in the section following their impressive victory in Belgrade on Friday. Instead it was Slovenia who seized the initiative, building on their 5-1 win against the Faroe Islands four days ago to climb up to second in the group.
