Maguire spares Stones’s blushes as England sneak past Poland

Scorers: Kane (p) 19′, Maguire 85′; Moder 58′

Harry Kane gave England a first half lead from the penalty spot after Raheem Sterling had been brought down by Michał Helik.

But Poland drew level with their first shot on target in the second half, when Jakub Moder dispossessed John Stones on the edge of the England area before firing past Nick Pope.

However, Stones then redeemed himself somewhat when he headed into Harry Maguire’s path before the Manchester United man fired home the winning goal on the half volley five minutes from time.

Germany suffer upset for the ages at the hands of North Macedonia

Scorers: Gündoğan (p) 63′; Pandev 45+2, Elmas 85′

Goran Pandev gave the visitors a shock lead in Duisburg when he beat Marc-André ter Stegen from close range in first half stoppage time.

Captain İlkay Gündoğan then got Germany back level with a second half penalty after Ezgjan Alioski had fouled Leroy Sané.

But in the 85th minute, North Macedonia stunned the home side for the second time when Eljif Elmas scored the game’s winning goal.

Shocker for Joachim Löw.

Torres scores again as Spain see off Kosovo

Scorers: Olmo 34′, Ferran Torres 36′, Gerard Moreno 75′; Halimi 70′

La Roja went in front courtesy of a lovely curling effort from Dani Olmo 11 minutes before time.

And two minutes later they doubled their advantage when Pedri found Ferran Torres, and the Manchester City man rattled in his second goal in as many games.

The visitors then pulled one back when Spain goalkeeper Unai Simón was robbed of possession by Besar Halimi, who then chipped in from distance.

But Spain soon went 3-1 up, with substitute Gerard Moreno flicking Koke’s corner past Kosovo goalkeeper Samir Ujkani.

And in the 94th minute, captain Ciro Immobile put the result beyond doubt for Roberto Mancini’s side.
