Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick as Poland thrashed 10-man Romania 6-0 in the Nations League.
After Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin, on loan at Fiorentina, was sent off in the 22nd minute, Romania were dismantled in Warsaw.
Lewandowski opened the scoring from the penalty spot and doubled the lead early in the second half. An own goal and strikes from Piotr Zielinski and Jan Bednarek followed before 38-year-old Lewandowski completed his seventh international hat-trick. The former Barcelona striker has scored 92 international goals.
Poland are third in Group B4, while Romania stay fourth.
Emotional farewell for Edin Dzeko
In the same group there were emotional scenes as Edin Dzeko retired from international football following Bosnia-Herzegovina's 1-1 draw at home to Sweden. The ex-Manchester City forward, 40, found the net late in the first half but the goal was disallowed as the ball went out of play in the build-up.
Fireworks went off after 11 minutes to celebrate the number 11 on his 152nd international appearance, and he was given a standing ovation when he was substituted after 62 minutes in Zenica. The celebrations continued after the match with an official ceremony, a guard of honour and a drone show displaying messages of thanks to Dzeko, who was showered with soft toys from the crowd during a lap of honour.
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres put Sweden in front before Kerim Alajbegovic equalised for Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Kevin de Bruyne scores twice as Belgium beat Turkey 3-0
Kevin de Bruyne scored two goals as Belgium beat Turkey 3-0 to move up to second in Group A1. The 35-year-old Napoli midfielder scored a goal in each half before Romelu Lukaku completed the scoring.
Hungary beat Georgia 1-0 in Budapest
Milos Kerkez scored the only goal as Hungary beat Georgia in Budapest to claim their first Nations League win of the campaign. Hungary are third in Group B2, three points behind leaders Northern Ireland.
