Last gasp penalty saves Armenia

Inside 120 seconds the visitors were already a goal to the good through Sergei Serebrennikov, and when Gennady Zubov made it 2-0 in the 33rd minute, it seemed all over.

However, in the second half, the Ukraine were guilty of sitting back and eventually Armenia forced themselves back into the game.

Artur Petrosjan made it 2-1 with a quarter of an hour to go and a contentious penalty with a minute to go allowed Arsen Sarkisyan to get the equaliser from 12 yards out.

This was all too much for a furious Volodymyr Yezerskyy who was sent off in the dying moments of the game.

Spain looked in ominous form as they disposed of Greece 2-0 on Saturday.

It took them just eight minutes to open the scoring as Raul (pictured) smashed home Juan Carlos Valeron's pass, with the Real Madrid striker continuing to close in on the Spanish goal record, currently held by team-mate Fernando Hierro.

With a quarter of an hour remaining Raul returned the compliment, seeming set to score but having slipped he unselfishly laid the ball back to Valeron who fired home to continue his great run of form.
