David Healy continued his remarkable one-man show to propel Northern Ireland to the top of Group F in this dramatic Euro 2008 qualifier. First half highlights below:
March 28 (Reuters) - A late double strike from Hamit Altintop, aided by goalkeeping fumbles, earned Turkey a 2-2 draw against Norway in their Euro 2008 Group C qualifier behind closed doors on Wednesday. The result kept Turkey at the top of Group C on 13 points, one ahead of European champions Greece who revived their campaign with a 1-0 win against Malta.
Italy, March 28 (Reuters) - Striker Luca Toni put Italy's Euro 2008 qualifying campaign back on track when he scored twice to give the world champions a 2-0 win over Scotland in Bari on Wednesday.
The Fiorentina player capitalised on a lively opening by the Azzurri, heading them ahead from a Massimo Oddo cross in the 12th minute. He struck again midway through the second half, when he outjumped his marker to nod in Mauro Camoranesi's cross at the far post.
