A much-changed Belgium eased past Belarus to take control of Group E. Fine goals from Michy Batshuayi, Hans Vanaken, Leandro Trossard and Jéremy Doku had the Red Devils 4-0 up at the interval. Dennis Praet and substitute Christian Benteke then made it six before Trossard and Vanaken completed their doubles late on.

Daniel James' late header from a Gareth Bale cross gave Wales their first points of this Group E campaign after Connor Roberts' red card cancelled out the earlier dismissal of Patrik Schick. Joe Rodon's added-time block on Ondřej Čelůstka was just as crucial for the hosts.

Turkey's perfect start to Group G was ended by a fine Latvia comeback. Kenan Karaman's early strike was supplemented by a Hakan Çalhanoğlu goal before Roberts Savaļnieks pulled one back. And though Burak Yılmaz's penalty made it 3-1, Roberts Uldriķis and Dāvis Ikaunieks earned Latvia their first point of the campaign.

Ivan Perišić, Luka Modrić and Josip Brekalo were the saviours for Croatia as the trio all scored from the bench to wrap up the three points against a Maltese side who had held on until the 62nd minute.

Slovakia got their first win of the campaign thanks to Róbert Mak's fine individual effort. Milan Škriniar's thumping header had given the hosts a first-half lead, only for Mário Fernandes to prod home with under 20 minutes remaining. The visitors were level for roughly three minutes, however, until Mak's mazy run and neat finish spoiled Russia's perfect Group H record.
