  1. Hazard scores for Belgiumpublished at 20:04 British Summer Time 10 October 2017

    Belgium are already through to the World Cup and Roberto Martinez's men have an early lead against Cyprus thanks to Eden Hazard's goal.

    It is a lovely goal from the Chelsea man. The Belgians win possession 35 yards out, Hazard is allowed to run at the Cyprus defence and place a shot from 22 yards into the bottom corner.

    Elsewhere, in Group A Luxembourg are 1-0 ahead against Bulgaria and Latvia lead by the same score against Andorra in Group B.

    GOAL - Netherlands 1-0 Swedenpublished at 16 mins

    Arjen Robben (Pen)

    This is highly unlikely but it looks like Arjen Robben has taken some penalty inspiration from Luton Town forward Danny Hylton! Robben steps up and barely makes contact with the ball, a little dink that just about makes it into the net. Calm? You bet.

    Sweden goalkeeper Robin Olsen was very close to a save that would have made Robben look very silly indeed.

    Netherlands 0-0 Sweden

    Handball! That's a bit harsh as Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof kicks the ball into his own hand, but it's given.

    Netherlands 0-0 Sweden

    The Dutch have had two chances so far, both falling to Arjen Robben.

    With the second one, a shot from Kenny Tete is misjudged, it falls to Robben who flings himself at the ball but the diving header goes over the top.

    Manchester United's Daley Bind had a painful moment when he took a bang to the jaw when he collided with Ola Toivonen, but, after getting some treatment, Blind is OK to carry on.

    Portugal 0-0 Switzerland

    A Swiss goal would make the atmosphere in Lisbon very interesting. Rampaging AC Milan left-back Ricardo Rodriguez wins a corner with a fine run down the left but his corner is woeful.

    Netherlands 0-0 Sweden

    It's a colourful and noisy scene at the Amsterdam Arena. Sweden, as you would expect, are defending in numbers. Dutch captain Arjen Robben jinks inside on to his left foot and looks to curl one into the far post from 25 yards out but the effort is straight at goalkeeper Robin Olsen.

    Just a reminder, the Dutch need to win by a seven-goal margin to snatch the play-off spot from the Swedes.

    France 0-0 Belarus

    Almost a script breaker at the Stade de France as Belarus winger Yuri Kovalev leaves two defenders in his wake before curling a low shot just wide from the edge of the area!

    Defeat for France would open the door for Sweden to win that group.

    They need seven, but the Dutch have not come close to a goal in the opening minutes.

    Belgium 0-0 Cyprus

    Belgium have already qualified as group winners, but tonight is a special one for Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen as he becomes their most-capped player on 97!

    Portugal 0-0 Switzerland

    A lovely cross in from the right by Portugal midfielder Joao Moutinho, but it's well defended with Cristiano Ronaldo lurking.

    Portugal 0-0 Switzerland

    A noticeable lift in volume as Cristiano Ronaldo receives the ball 30 yards out for the first time, he has three men tight on him but beats them all with a trademark stepover. His shot is charged down though. Portugal then win a free-kick wide on the left, cleared.

    An early chance for the French as they send Olivier Giroud in on goal but he's timed his run wrong and is a yard offside.

    Portugal 0-0 Switzerland

    I wondered if the Swiss would just turn up with a flat back 10, with a draw enough for them to qualify, but they start in adventurous mood. It's a 4-5-1, 4-3-3 line-up for the visitors.

    Tremendous noise and colour in Lisbon. A proper winner-takes-all encounter.

    A Portugal win sees them qualify automatically. Any other result sends the Swiss to the finals.

    Nobody wants to draw either of these two in the play-offs I bet..

    Netherlands v Sweden (19:45 BST)

    Here come the teams! The Dutch fans have still turned up in numbers, as passionate as ever. Remember they need a 7-0 win (or 8-1, etc) to even reach the play-offs.
