    So what a day for Scotland, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. All three recorded victories in their Euro 2016 qualifiers.

    Thank you for being with us and for all of your comments. We will be back tomorrow so we will see you then. Bye for now.

  2. Coming up tomorrowpublished at 21:58 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    We have had live text commentaries of today's football all day, and we have another bumper day of action tomorrow.

    Firstly, from 13:30 BST, the Women's Super League title will be decided with Chelsea, Birmingham and Liverpool all vying for the trophy going into the final day of the season.

    After that, the focus will switch to England's away qualifier in Estonia. That will be on the BBC Sport site from 16:00 BST as Roy Hodgson's side aim to record their third qualifying win. So don't miss out.

  3. Manager reactionpublished at 21:54 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill, speaking to Sky Sports: "I am delighted with three points, especially with the performance and the intensity of our play. I knew we could not maintain the intensity through the second half but we saw the game out.

    "We have worked hard all week. The emphasis in our training was on getting that intensity, playing high up the pitch and I don't think the scoreline at half-time did us justice, given the quality of our play.

    "The fans were fantastic. It is a special atmosphere here and the players certainly responded to it. We go now in a confident mood to Greece on Tuesday. Belief is developing in the squad all the time. We don't envisage an easy game at all, but what we will have is a real go."

    Other results

    Albania, who won their opening Group I game by winning away at Portugal by a 1-0 margin, have gained another fine result, drawing 1-1 at home against Denmark. The hosts took a first-half lead through Ermir Lenjani's goal, but Lasse Vibe's late equaliser earned Denmark a point.

    Northern Ireland top Group F after Finland and Greece drew 1-1, while Germany, as mentioned, lost in Poland in Group D.

    Al: Germany 23 shots, 8 on target - did Poland get Jan Tomaszewski back in goal???

    Polish goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski famously denied England a place at the 1974 World Cup with a series of saves in a qualifier between the two sides.

  6. World champions beatenpublished at 21:40 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    All over! Germany, after seven years without a defeat in European Championship qualifying, have now been beaten as Poland celebrate a famous 2-0 win. Warsaw is bouncing.

  7. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:40 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    Job well done. Two matches into the Euro 2016 qualification campaign and six points on the board. Michael O'Neill will be delighted with the result and his side's performance.

    Roy Carroll did not have much to do, but his penalty save at the end of the first half denied Faroe Islands a way back into the game. Instead, only a number of fine saves from Gunnar Nielsen kept it at 2-0 after goals from Gareth McAuley and Kyle Lafferty.

    Northern Ireland have never qualified for the European Championship but will travel to Greece on Tuesday full of confidence. If O'Neill's team can get something from that match in Athens then there will be genuine optimism of qualifying for France 2016.

    It is 'ole' football from Northern Ireland as they play keep-ball, with every successful pass being cheered loudly from the Windsor Park crowd. There hasn't been much to cheer in recent years for Northern Ireland, but they have certainly played well tonight.

  9. Postpublished at 21:34 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    Well how about this! Germany, the world champions, are now losing 2-0 to Poland.

    Robert Lewandowski did superbly to muscle off a defender and square a pass for substitute Sebastian Mila to sweep home. Amazing scenes with three minutes to go.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:28 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    Six minutes plus injury-time left and Kyle Lafferty, who has scored two of Northern Ireland's four Euro 2016 qualifying goals so far, is the man who comes off. He receives a tremendous reception, fully deserved, and is replaced by Kilmarnock's Josh Magennis.

  12. Postpublished at 21:25 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    Ten minutes to go in Warsaw, and Poland are edging closer to a famous victory against the world champions. It's all Germany, but can the Poles hang on?

    Jamie Ward curls a direct free-kick at goal, the ball dips over the wall but Faroe Islands goalkeeper Gunnar Nielsen, who has looked competent, dives forward to punch the ball with two hands away from danger.

    Jack Morrison:, external Northern Ireland have their best chance ever it seems with a group of teams they can all beat.

    But this game is not wrapped up yet. Faroe Islands have their own version of Rory Delap and long throws from the right wing are causing problems for the Northern Ireland defence.

    The optimism of the first half and early in the second is being replaced by a sense of nervousness at Windsor Park. Northern Ireland deserve to take the three points, but need one more goal to settle any lingering tension.

  16. CLOSE!published at 21:13 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    Paddy McCourt scored twice against the Faroe Islands when they were last in Northern Ireland. And the substitute is immediately involved in the action, firing a shot narrowly off target.

    There could be quite the upset on the cards tonight if Poland manage to hold on. They are beating Germany 1-0, a scoreline all the more impressive considering all but one of Germany's outfield players had a shot on goal in the first half.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:10 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    Another change for the home side. Paddy McCourt comes on in place of Niall McGinn.

    There is no suggestion that Michael O'Neill is settling for what he has got and taking a 2-0 win. He wants more goals.

    A great reception for the Brighton midfielder from the Windsor Park fans.

  19. WHAT A MISSpublished at 21:06 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    Connor McLaughlin doesn't score many. And, unfortunately, he has just shown why.

    The Fleetwood right-back finds himself in the middle of the goal 12 yards out with the ball at his feet, dreaming of his first international goal. He then shakes his head as he trots back to his normal position, having shanked an effort well wide.

  20. CLOSE!published at 21:03 British Summer Time 11 October 2014

    Jamie Ward's low shot, following a lovely build-up move from the hosts, takes a deflection for a corner. From that set piece, the ball falls to Kyle Lafferty but he cannot get over his shot and it sails harmlessly over the bar.
