Europe Group Five review

European champions Spain made it two World Cup qualifying wins out of two with a 4-0 victory over Armenia in Albacete.

Fresh from Saturday's 1-0 triumph over Bosnia-Herzegovina, Spain all but ended this Group Five encounter as a contest after just 16 minutes following goals from Joan Capdevila and David Villa.

Two late strikes from Villa (79) and Marcos Senna (83) then wrapped up the win as Spain made it 25 games without defeat and six in succession without conceding a goal.

Emre Belozoglu netted an equaliser from the penalty spot to spare Turkey a damaging home defeat in their qualifier against Belgium.

The Fenerbahce midfielder levelled the scores at 1-1 with 16 minutes to go in Istanbul as the Turks battled back.

Wesley Sonck had earlier given the visitors the lead with his third goal of the campaign, adding to the brace he bagged in his side's 3-2 win over Estonia in their Group Five opener at the weekend.

Zvezdan Misimovic hit a hat-trick as Bosnia-Herzegovina got their qualifying campaign up and running in breathtaking style as they hammered Estonia 7-0 in Zenica.

The hosts went ahead after 25 minutes through Zvezdan Misimovic while the playmaker doubled his tally five minutes later from the penalty spot after Taavi Rahn fouled Samir Muratovic in the area.

Misimovic completed his hat-trick after 56 minutes while it was 4-0 just two minutes later, Zlatan Muslimovic netting after a strong run.

Four became five when Sejad Salihovic's free-kick was nodded home by Dzeko, and Dzeko netted again after 73 minutes before Senijad Ibricic (88) completed the rout.
