France bounced back from their shock defeat to Belarus with a 2-0 victory away to Bosnia to get their Euro 2012 qualification campaign back on track.

Laurent Blanc's side were indebted to second-half goals from Karim Benzema and Florent Malouda for their success.

Real Madrid's Benzema, who did not feature in France's dismal World Cup campaign, broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute before Chelsea winger Malouda added a second soon after.

Belarus continued their solid start in their bid to reach the finals with a 0-0 draw at home to Romania on Tuesday night.

Belarus now have four points to show from their testing opening fixtures, while their opponents were held for the second game in succession.

Albania scraped a 1-0 home success against 10-man Luxembourg with Hamdi Salihi scoring the only goal of the game.

Salihi found the net seven minutes before the interval, but Albania could not build on their lead despite the dismissal of Mario Mutsch for a second yellow card before the hour mark.
