The win means France keep second place while the Dutch crash into third. Sweden top the group on goal difference after beating Bulgaria three nil.

In Group B Andorra’s part-timers had to take on the Swiss and managed to restrict them to a slender two-nil win. Portugal put six past the Faroe islands to ensure they stay second.

The Swiss top the group with a 100% record, and Hungary got their first win to take third spot.

Gibraltar welcomed Belgium in Group H and got their expected hammering six-nil, with three goals in each half for the visitors. Along with Greece they have a 100% record, while Bosnia Herzegovina also won.

Belgium’s superior goal difference keeps them top, while Bosnia’s win takes them into third place.
