    SPAIN THRASH ARMENIA

    EUROPEAN champions Spain made it two World Cup qualifying wins out
    of two with a 4-0 victory over Armenia in Albacete.

    Fresh from Saturday's 1-0 triumph over Bosnia-Herzegovina, Spain
    all but ended this Group Five encounter as a contest after just 16
    minutes following goals from Joan Capdevila and David Villa.

    Two late strikes from Villa (79) and Marcos Senna (83) then wrapped up
    the win as Spain made it 25 games without defeat and six in succession
    without conceding a goal.

    Emre Belozoglu netted an equaliser from the penalty spot to spare
    Turkey a damaging home defeat in their qualifier against Belgium.

    The Fenerbahce midfielder levelled the scores at 1-1 with 16 minutes
    to go in Istanbul as the Turks battled back.

    Wesley Sonck had earlier given the visitors the lead with his third
    goal of the campaign, adding to the brace he bagged in his side's
    3-2 win over Estonia in their Group Five opener at the weekend.

    Zvezdan Misimovic hit a hat-trick as Bosnia-Herzegovina got their
    qualifying campaign up and running in breathtaking style as they
    hammered Estonia 7-0 in Zenica.

    The hosts went ahead after 25 minutes through Zvezdan Misimovic while
    the playmaker doubled his tally five minutes later from the penalty
    spot after Taavi Rahn fouled Samir Muratovic in the area.

    Misimovic completed his hat-trick after 56 minutes while it was 4-0
    just two minutes later, Zlatan Muslimovic netting after a strong run.

    Four became five when Sejad Salihovic's free-kick was nodded home by
    Dzeko, and Dzeko netted again after 73 minutes before Senijad Ibricic
    (88) completed the rout.
