		</div><p>Wales are guaranteed a World Cup qualifying play-off spot at least after Spain won 1-0 against Greece on Thursday.</p>
<p>The Spain victory saw Luis Enrique’s men secure a top-two finish in Group B.</p>
<p>And that confirmed Wales, currently third in Group E, as being guaranteed qualification for the play-offs by virtue of their efforts in the Nations League.</p>
<p>Rob Page’s side will now only not be in the play-offs if they win their pool for automatic Qatar 2022 qualification, which is still mathematically achievable with two games to go but appears unlikely.</p>
<p>Spain’s winner in Athens came via a Pablo Sarabia penalty in the 26th minute as they moved to the top of their group.</p>
<p>They are now a point clear of Sweden, who lost 2-0 away in Georgia, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia notching twice in the second half.</p>
<p>The Republic of Ireland, whose bid to qualify for Qatar was already over, drew 0-0 with Portugal in Dublin. That took Portugal, who had Pepe sent off in the 81st minute, top of Group A – they are level on points with Serbia.</p>
<p>The other match in that pool was Luxembourg winning 3-1 at Azerbaijan.</p>
<p>There were braces for Leroy Sane and Thomas Muller as already-qualified Group J table-toppers Germany thrashed 10-man Liechtenstein 9-0 in Wolfsburg.</p>
<p>The visitors had Jens Hofer sent off in the ninth minute as he gave away a penalty that Ilkay Gundogan converted to open the scoring.</p>
<p>As well as four between Sane and Muller, the goals that followed included efforts from Marcos Reus and Ridle Baku, and two own goals, scored by Daniel Kaufmann and Maximilian Goppel.</p>
<p>North Macedonia moved into second place in the group with a 5-0 win at Armenia, Enis Bardhi registering a hat-trick that featured two penalties, replacing Romania, who were held 0-0 at home by Iceland.</p>
<p>In Group H, leaders Russia and second-placed Croatia each recorded big victories.</p>
<p>Russia won 6-0 at home against Cyprus, with Aleksandr Erokhin scoring twice, and Croatia won 7-1 away against Malta, Lovro Majer hitting a double and Ivan Perisic and Luka Modric also among the scorers.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Slovakia and Slovenia battled out a 2-2 draw in Trnava.</p>
