Denmark cemented their lead at the top of Group one by cruising over Malta at the National Stadium, leaving the hosts still searching for their first goal of the campaign.

Denmark are level on points with Hungary at the top of the group but have a game in hand, while they have played two games less than third-placed Albania who currently have a point less than the top two.
Malta remain rock bottom with one point from five games.

Wales vs Finland Highlights: WC Qualifiers Highlights
John Toshack’s Wales youngsters were left heart broken by a home loss to Finland at the Millennium Stadium that leaves their World Cup dreams shattered.
This was the day when the bright, new generation of Welsh kids were taught a lesson by the 30-somethings of Finland, who in the end comfortably won this Group Four qualifier.
Old hands like Sami Hyypia and Jari Litmanen dominated the game. Litmanen created the first Finnish goal for another near veteran, former Charlton forward Jonatan Johansson, three minutes before the break.
And it was 33-year-old substitute Shefki Kuqi who grabbed the second a minute from the end to seal Wales’ fate.
Just what the mighty Germany will do to Wales’ boys on Wednesday in this same stadium is a worrying thought for Toshack.

Wales 0-2 Finland
Wales 0-1 Finland
