Montenegro 1 - Poland 1; England 4 - Moldova 0; Ukraine 9 - San Marino 0

Lviv was the sight of what proved to be Ukraine's biggest ever win as San Marino were in town.  The match was perhaps the most lopsided off the entire tournament.  Four different Ukrainians scored in the first half as Ukraine took a 4-0 lead.

In the second period, the onslaught continued.  Five different Ukrainians scored in this half, including four new scorers and Ukraine made the best case possible for there to be an opening round in UEFA qualification by thrashing San Marino.  Ukraine win 9-0.

Poland were at home in Warsaw with Montenegro coming in to face them.  Branko Boskovic made a smooth move after receiving a throw-in for Montenegro as he shimmied his way free up the pitch.  He then released a stellar through ball to put Dejan Damjanovic in on stride.  Damjanovich struck the ball cleanly from seventeen yards, and the Montenegrins were ahead 1-0 after ten minutes.  Five minutes later, a lazy pass backward from Montenegro left back Milos Krkotic was picked off by Robert Lewandowski, who proceeded to drive into the box.  Lewandowski held off the challenges of both Mirko Basa and Miodrag Dzudovic (pictured, red #20) and bash home the equalizer.  The half ended with the teams knotted at one goal apiece.

Poland were the team with the better of the play in the second period, but they could not make their superiority pay off until deep into stoppage time.  Poland pushed the ball across the line in a crazy sequence.  First, a bicycle kick was attempted with the goalkeeper coming out to block.  The kick hit a Polish player, bounced away, was passed to another Pole, and then shot into the net.  However, the goalkeeper's desperate attempt to block the bicycle kick left the player into whom the kick was shot in an offside position.  The goal was disallowed, and the match ends in a 1-1 draw.

London was the scene for England's home tilt against Moldova.  A win for England would see them move into a tie for first place in Group H.  A nice passing sequence ten minutes into the match gave England what they needed.  Ashley Cole to Danny Welbeck to Frank Lampard to Steven Gerrard was the sequence, and then Gerrard finished from the top of the penalty box to the inside of the near post.  The Three Lions were ahead 1-0.  A quarter hour later, a wide open Theo Walcott blasted a knuckled shot that the goalkeeper could only manage to fist sideways.  Rickie Lambert was there to head home the rebound for England as the home side were now ahead by two goals.  In stoppage time, Lambert sent in a long pass to Welbeck.  Welbeck used his first touch to go ahead oncoming Moldova goalkeeper Stanislav Namasco before using a second to push home from the penalty spot.  England were up 3-0 at the cessation of play.

Lambert again had himself an assist to Welbeck five minutes after the restart.  Lambert pushed a much shorter through ball to Welbeck, who chipped over Namasco for an angle to give the hosts their fourth goal of the night.  James Milner missed a tap-in late in the match that would have been a fifth for England, but all else was good on this night for the Three Lions.  England win 4-0 at home and eliminate Moldova from the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
