Germany defeated Scotland in the best game of Monday night in a fantastic battle at Hampden Park. The world champions claimed a 3-2 victory after the Scots twice came back from deficits to level the match.
Poland demolished Gibraltar 8-1 at home to keep their chase of the Germans intact, with the Republic of Ireland gaining a 1-0 win against Georgia to stay in touch at the top of Group D.
Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo left it until the second minute of injury time to grab an unspectacular 1-0 win in Albania. The hosts held their illustrious rivals at bay for most of the match, but a late Miguel Veloso header won the points.
