Liechtenstein 1 - Slovakia 1; Greece 1 - Lithuania 0; Bosnia and Herzegovina 5 - Latvia 0;

Bosnia and Herzegovina came storming into Riga looking to continue their dominance in Group G against hosts Latvia.  Edin Dzeko nearly had an early opener for Bosnia, but a one-handed stab save was made by Latvia goalkeeper Andris Vanins.  Aleksandrs Fertovs thrown out for Latvia after receiving a straight red card in minute 11, essentially rendering the rest of the match a formality.  Fertovs had stuck a high boot into Bosnian midfielder Elvir Rahimic's knee as Rahimic tried to clear a ball.  A Miralem Pjanic free kick bent over the wall was knocked aside on a dive by Vanins.  Latvia were able to hold back the flood of goals in the first half, leaving the pitch tied 0-0.

Within three minutes, Bosnia were on their way to victory.  A probing cross by Mensur Mujdza was tipped by Latvian captain Kaspars Gorkss, but Senad Lulic was not thrown off by the deflection and scored his first international goal in off the post to give Bosnia the opener.  Lulic created a second goal five minutes later as his chipped cross has headed home by Vedad Ibisevic for 2-0.  Haris Medunhanin scored a spectacular thirty-yard strike after having teed himself up to give Bosnia a glorious third goal.  With ten minutes to go, a run by Edin Visca took the ball to the end line, from where he laid the ball back upfield.  An onrushing Pjanic pushed home the fourth goal from there.  Bosnia were sitting on the counterattack, and Dzeko got the fifth of the night for Bosnia off a long clearance that led to a breakaway.  Bosnia win 5-0 and pull themselves even closer to their first ever FIFA World Cup finals.

The fans in Vilnius were supporting home side Lithuania, who were looking to upset visiting Greece and launch themselves back into contention for the playoff berth from Group G.   Greece looked to make their superior quality pay off, and twenty minutes in it was the quality of left back Jose Holebas that provided the break through.  A long-distance, inswinging cross from Holebas found a great run at the back post by Lazaros Christodoulopoulos, whose header put Greece into the lead.  It was Christodoulopoulos's first international goal.  Greece would take that 1-0 lead in to the break.

Georgios Karagounis nearly got the second half off to a perfect start for the visitors as his long-distance cross from the right side found an open Theofanis Gekas at the penalty spot, but his diving header was pushed aside by Lithuania goalkeeper Emilijus Zubas.  Lithuania were reduced to shooting from distance, and the Greeks were happy with that given the lack of threatening shots.  Greece nearly pushed a second ball across the line at the end of the match, but Dimitrios Salpingidis struck the crossbar flush with a cannoned shot after a nice lay-off by Georgios Samaras.  Greece win 1-0.

Vaduz was the site for Liechtenstein's home match against Slovakia as the perennial minnows looked to shock the larger country.  Andreas Christen was on the ball for the hosts on a two-versus-two break.  Christen slowed down to cross the ball, which beat a diving slide from a Slovak defender and landed on Martin Buechel.  Buechel shook Marian Cisovsky and then hit a shot that found the net for a shock 1-0 to Liechtenstein.  Marek Hamsik looked to right the ship four minutes on, but Liechtenstein goalkeeper Peter Jehle's fist denied him the goal.  Liechtenstein continued to be the brighter side for the remainder of the first half with no less than two further saves being forced out of Slovakia goalkeeper Dusan Kuciak, who could not have been pleased with the time and space afforded to the Liechtenstein attack.  Cisovsky was able to knock a rebound away to safety to prevent a tap-in for 2-0 on the stroke of haltime.  Liechtenstein took a 1-0 into their locker room.

A through ball saw Tomas Dubek in on goal for the chance at an equalizer, but Liechtenstein defender Yves Oehri was having none of it as his daring saving tackle was perfect and denied the opportunity inside his own box.  A well-worked set piece finally provided some joy to Slovakia as a short corner slid across to the top of the penalty area.  Miroslav Stoch deftly landed a chipped cross onto the six-yard box where three unmarked Slovak attackers caught the defense off-guard.  Jan Durica would be the one to get the goal as his open header tied the match at one-goal apiece.  Slovakia could have won the match with two minutes left to play when a Dusan Svento floating cross found an unmarked man at the back post, but Jehle was able to make the point-blank saved to ensure the spoils were split on this day.  The match ends 1-1.
