Without Lithuania and Malta facing off, eight World Cup qualifying matches took place last night.
In one of them, Poland's national team expanded their victory in the last moments, defeating Armenians at home. The latter played without Gael Andonian, who received two yellow cards from the 31st minute, but it did not prevent them from resisting for a long time.
The hosts surged forward after Hrayro Mkoyan's own goal, but in the 50th minute, Marcos Pizzelli managed to equalize the score. Then, Robert Lewandowski scored the winning goal in extra time.
At the top of Group C, Germany secured their third victory out of as many possible by easily defeating Northern Ireland. The winners scored goals in the first half through Sami Khedira and Julian Draxler.
Meanwhile, Lithuania's opponents, England and Slovenia, played to a goalless draw. This allowed Edgaras Jankauskas' pupils to rise to second place in Group F.
