Sweden beat Iceland, Denmark win in Liechtenstein
REYKJAVIK, Oct 11 (SW) - Sweden and Denmark both won their away matches in Group F on Wednesday, while Northern Ireland got a small win over Latvia.
<b>Iceland - Sweden</b> 1-2
A surprisingly strong Iceland only needed six minutes to take the lead through Arnar Vidarsson, but a distance strike from Kim Kallstrom levelled the score just two minutes later.
The three points would eventually go to the Swedish, as Christian Wilhelmsson scored for 1-2 just before the hour mark.
<b>Liechtenstein - Denmark</b> 0-4
The Danes did as expected in Liechtenstein, beating their hosts 0-4. Daniel Jensen and Michael Gravgaard scored in the first half and striker Jon Dahl Tomasson added another two after the break.
<b>Northern Ireland - Latvia</b> 1-0
A goal from David Healy in the 35th minute was enough for the Northern Irish to earn three points against Latvia. Although Latvia (4th) and Spain (5th) have a game in hand, Northern Ireland's third position in this group is save for at least one more match.
