Armenia 0-0 Russia

Andorra 0-1 Slovakia

Ireland 2-1 Macedonia

The Russian squad was frustrated all night by a tenacious home team that had a couple of good chances to take the three points.

In Andorra, a single goal by Filip Sebo at the 21st minute was enough for Slovakia to claim the victory, although they should have done more considering the difference between both squads.

Macedonian keeper Edin Nuredinoski had a terrible night, making two big mistakes that allowed Aiden McGeady and Robbie Keane to give Ireland a comfortable 2-0 lead in the first 21 minutes.

Ivan Trichkovski brought the visitors back to life just before the break and had a one-on-one against Irish keeper Keiren Westhood with 15 minutes on the clock, but the home team managed to preserve the victory.

Quick Analysis: What a group. Ireland, Russia and Slovakia are in a three-way tie with 10 points, followed closely by Armenia with eight.
