| Spain scraped past Turkey to put themselves six points clear at the top of Group 5 and in pole position to qualify for the World Cup next year. The win was far from easy though and only came courtesy of Gerard Pique's first goal at international level, scored fifteen minutes into the second-half.

| Turkey’s Arda Turan stunned Switzerland with an injury-time goal at a rain-soaked St Jakob-Park Stadium on Wednesday to knock the Euro 2008 co-hosts out of the tournament.
