Poland became the latest team to qualify for Euro 2020 with a comfortable 2-0 victory over North Macedonia in Warsaw.
Przemyslaw Frankowski converted a Robert Lewandowski cross from close range to give them the lead.
Napoli's Arkadiusz Milik came off the bench to convert another Lewandowski pass to wrap up the three points.
Poland join Belgium, Italy and Russia in qualifying for next summer’s tournament.
Russia also booked their place in Euro 2020 with a routine victory over Cyprus Valencia winger Denis Cheryshev fired in a ninth-minute opener for the visitors, before Magomed Ozdoev, who scored a fabulous long-range strike on Thursday against Scotland, made it two midway through the first half.
Any thoughts of a Cyprus comeback were ended in just the 28th minute when Kostas Laifis was dismissed for a nasty lunge on Russian full-back Sergei Petrov.
Striker Artem Dzyuba scored his third goal in two games in the 79th minute, before Aleksandr Golovin and Cheryshev’s second completed the rout late on.
Russia will attempt to overtake Belgium, who beat Kazakhstan 2-0 earlier on Sunday, at the summit when they host the world’s No 1 side on November 16.
The European Championship finals, which start on June 12 next year, are being held at 12 different venues across the continent, including Saint Petersburg in Russia. (BBC)
