Bosnia -Herzegovina wins over Turkey in Euro 2008 qualifiers

In Bosnia - Herzegovina Vs Turkey match played on June 2nd , with the first goal by Hakan Sukur at the 12th minute it looked like Turkey is on the way to another victory. But with the final whistle, spotlight was on a lesser known forward making his national-team debut. Edin Džeko was duly given his first national-team chance by Bosnia-Herzegovina coach Fuad Muzurović. Nearing the interval, when Turkey was having a 2-1 lead, Muzurović's young protégé was to have the last word. He connected with Vedin Musić's long pass before rifling in from the edge of the area. It gave the hosts the confidence they needed and the last edge from Adnan Ćustović won it for Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Spain beats Liechtenstein in Euro 2008 qualifiers

Striker David Villa scored two neatly-taken goals to earn Spain a 2- 0 Euro 2008 qualifying win in Liechtenstein that lifted them into second place in Group F on Wednesday. Villa put Spain ahead in the eighth minute when he slotted home from a tight angle after rounding the keeper and took his tally to 12 goals in 23 games with an overhead kick soon after. Villa's early goals were rare bright spots in an otherwise intermittent performance from Spain and the striker spurned the chance to complete a hat-trick when he fired an injury-time penalty against a post.

Sweden leads Group F with 18 points after being awarded a win in the abandoned match with Denmark. Spain holds second position in the Group with 15 points. The next match for Sweden is with Denmark and Spain with Iceland.

Croatia Vs Russia ends in a goalless draw

The 2008 Euro Cup qualifier played last Wednesday between Croatia and Russia, ended in a goalless draw, just like last September qualifiers in Moscow. The relatively young national team from Croatia, which registered with FIFA in July 1992 and has not lost a single home tie for almost 13 years, dominated the first half as Russia was forced to soak up the pressure. But the Russian team, with experienced Dutch Coach Guus Hiddink at the helm, remained resolute throughout the first period rebuffing dangerous Croatian attacks. Russia played more of an aggressive game in the second half coming close to finding Croatia's net through Alexander Kerzhakov, Alexei Berezutsky and Sergei Ignashevich, but were unable to find a way through.

Wednesday's goalless draw has brought Russia and Croatia a point each, but the Croatians are still in pole position in Group E with 17 points, while the Russians hold third place with 15 points, with both teams having played seven qualifying games. Israel, who came out victorious 2-0 on Wednesday in an away game with Andorra, is in second place on goal difference with 17 points like group leaders Croatia, but Israel has already played eight games. England is only one point behind Russia in fourth place after seven games. Russia will play their next qualifier at home on September 8 against the team from Macedonia, which is currently ranked fifth in Group E with seven points after seven matches.
