Greece 1 - Slovakia 0; Lithuania 2 - Latvia 0; Bosnia and Herzegovina 4 - Liechtenstein 1

Vilnius was the site for Lithuania's home match against neighbors Latvia.  Lithuania jumped ahead within ten minutes by scoring off a corner kick set piece.  The header by Fedor Cernych to the near post was allowed to bounce in by Vladislavs Gabovs, who foolishly wandered away from the near post where he had been positioned.  Giederius Arlauskas made a bursting run off his line in goal for Lithuania to clear a ball with a desperate slide on a nearly perfect through ball from Latvia.  Latvia had a free kick header just ruled offside.  The halftime score was Lithuania 1, Latvia 0.

Mindaugas Kalonas made a nice dribbling maneuver to get into the Latvian box, but he hit both posts from a sharp angle.  Latvia were caught forward by a three-on-two break.  Cernych picked out the right pass, and Saulius Mikoliunas provide the finish to punish Latvia for their foray forward with a second goal.  Nerijus Valskis was denied a goal by Latvia goalkeeper Andris Vanins late in the match, but it did not affect the final outcome.  Lithuania win 2-0.

Zenica was the site as Liechtenstein paid a visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina.  Avdija Vrsajevic put in a whipped cross that was headed home viciously by Edin Dzeko to give Bosnia the lead before the half hour mark.  Bosnia scored a second due to good fortune.  A completely shanked shot flew sideways to Zvjezdan Misimovic, who belted home a shot from twelve yards for 2-0.  Vrsajevic found his second assist via a cross that was headed in by Vedad Ibisevic for 3-0.  Bosnia scored their fourth goal in thirteen minutes the next minute.  Dzeko scored after beating the offside trap.  Bosnia gladly took their 4-0 lead into the locker room with them.

Bosnia eased off the gas in the second period.  Liechtenstein took advantage in order to score a goal.  Andreas Christen curl a ball forward that Robin Gubser volleyed across the box to a wide open Nicolas Hasler.  Hasler tapped in to bring his side within 4-1.  The rest of the half provided little of note.  Bosnia win 4-1 and now need only to defeat Lithuania on the road this Tuesday in order to qualify for Brasil 2014.

Greece needed to win at home in Piraeus against Slovakia in order to keep pressure on Bosnia.  A Kostas Manolas header off a Vasileios Torosidis cross was all but in the Slovak goal.  Slovakia goalkeeper Jan Mucha made an absolutely miraculous save, diving inside the goal, but pushing the ball out with his hand in front of the goal line.  Mucha gave the goal back with the worst pass reception in national team history.  A soft pass to Mucha under no pressure slipped under Mucha's feet and rolled into the goal.  Greece had a 1-0 lead at the conclusion of the first half.

Kostas Mitroglou chipped a ball over Mucha that was goalbound, but Tomas Hubocan (pictured, blue) was there to clear off the line even as he was facing his own goal.  Greece were completely dominant in possession and in the amount of chances created, but they could not push across a goal on their own accord.  However, Slovakia never came close to breaking down the Greek defense.  Greece win 1-0 and stay tied atop Group G with Bosnia with one match left to play.
