 Finland won against Bosnia and Herzegovina and are still alive for a playoff ticket. They have a difficult match against France in the last round and might need some help from Bosnia and Herzegovina who play Ukraine.

Everything went Turkey's way last night. They won against Gibraltar with 6-0, so they now have better goal difference than Norway. Netherlands missed qualification with two late goals by Montenegro and 2-2. Norway could not score against Latvia and will need to win against Netherlands or that Turkey lose against Montenegro.
