Greece and Switzerland continue to lead the way in Group Two as Latvia moved into third spot.

Euro 2004 winners Greece stayed top of the section after a hard-fought 2-1 win at home over Israel.

Dimitris Salpigidis fired Greece ahead on 32 minutes when he rifled home from the edge of the area after a corner was partially cleared.

But Israel levelled on 59 minutes when Omer Golan, who scored the equaliser in Saturday's 1-1 draw between the teams, found the net.

However, Greece took all three points on 67 minutes when Celtic striker Georgios Samaras scored from the penalty spot.

Switzerland followed up a 2-0 win in Moldova at the weekend by beating the Eastern European side by the same margin back on home soil.

Blaise NKufo gave the Euro 2008 co-hosts the lead on 20 minutes when he rose well to head home a cross from Stephan Lichtsteiner.

The second goal arrived on 53 minutes when Alexander Frei turned home at the far post after Benjamin Huggel mis-hit his shot.

Latvia maintained their hopes of pinching a play-off spot after a 2-0 home win over Luxembourg, who had lost 4-0 at home to the same opponents at the weekend.

Luxembourg had chances in the first half before early Latvian substitute Andrejs Pereplotkins had a goal disallowed for offside.

The hosts took the lead a minute before half-time after Maris Verpakovskis skipped past the Luxembourg defence to tee up Jurijs Zigajevs for his first international goal.

The points were made safe 15 minutes from time when Verpakovskis turned poacher to steer home a corner from Aleksandrs Cauna.
