Norway 5-0 Israel

Haaland bounced back from a disappointing start to the match in emphatic fashion to take his international goal tally for the season past 20, and ensure Norway would remain top of Group I of the European World Cup qualifying section with a perfect record of six wins from six matches so far.

The Man City star missed a chance to score from the penalty spot in the sixth minute when his attempt was saved by Daniel Peretz.

He was given another crack at it after the TMO ruled Israel's defenders had entered the box too early during his initial attempt but was denied a second time by Peretz.

However, Israel's good fortune did not last too long after that as a header rebounded off Anan Khalaili into the net for an own goal to open the scoring.

Haaland then doubled their advantage in the 27th minute with a neat finish under pressure after being played through by Sander Berge, before a second own goal a minute later, this one by Idan Nachmias, put Israel three behind.

After the half-time break, it was the Haaland show as he scored his second of the match in the 63rd minute with a powerful header before completing his hat-trick and the 5-0 rout nine minutes later with a deft header at the back post.

Latvia 2-2 Andorra

Latvia and Andorra played out to a thrilling draw at the Daugava Stadium on Saturday, with both teams having to make fightbacks to secure a point.

Andorra opened the scoring through Moises San Nicolas in the 33rd minute before Latvia answered back with goals from Dmitrijs Zelenkovs (41') and Vladislavs Gutkovskis (55' pen) to take the lead.

However, a 78th-minute strike by Ian Bryan Olivera would ensure the spoils were shared.

Hungary 2-0 Armenia

Hungary defended well to ensure Armenia did not produce a single big chance all match, while converting the chances they made in a strong performance.

They had to be patient, though, as Daniel Lukacs opened the scoring after half-time in the 56th minute, with Zsombor Gruber grabbing the second deep into second-half stoppage time.

Bulgaria 1-6 Turkiye

Bulgaria had a game to forget at the Vasil Levski National Stadium as they were thrashed by Turkiye on home soil.

The match began in auspicious fashion for the hosts when Arda Guler put Turkiye ahead in the 11th minute. They fought back well, though, as Radoslav Kirilov levelled the scores in the 13th minute.

A Viktor Popov own goal in the 49th minute began the collapse after half-time, with Kenan Yildiz latching on to a Guler throughball two minutes later to put Turkiye in a commanding position.

The Juventus man would then score again five minutes later, before Zeki Celik joined the party with a goal in the 65th minute to make it 5-1.

Irfan Can Kahveci added the cherry on the cake with a strike three minutes into second-half stoppage time to conclude a dominant performance by Turkiye.

Spain 2-0 Andorra

Spain dominated proceedings from start to finish and will be disappointed not to have scored more than twice at Estadio Martinez Valero.

Yeremy Pino opened the scoring in the 24th minute, with Mikel Oyarzabal adding the second nine minutes into the second half, but the fact that they only got two goals from 24 shots and 10 big chances may be a cause for concern among the management.

Portugal 1-0 Ireland

Ireland were playing for a draw from the outset at Estadio Jose Alvalade and their defensive tactics led to Portugal producing 30 shots but only three big chances.
