Main Events
Finish: Cyprus 0-4 Kosovo. Kosovo took an early lead through a penalty from Vedat Muriqi and held the lead until the ninth minute. Muriqi added a second in the 21st minute, Albion Rahmani added a third shortly after the second half and Lumvald Derova sealed the win at AEK Arena in the 55th minute. Kosovo fought back in style to overcome a 3-0 defeat to Romania on Friday. Cyprus had won the first leg 1-0 in Lithuania. Romania is the favorite to win Group C2, but the rest of the division looks set to be an intriguing contest.
Early indications suggest that Craig Bellamy is not the kind of manager to die for in doubt. His first choice squad performed well against Turkey last Friday but he still makes five changes to Montenegro tonight, with Karl Darlow, Chris Mepham, Louis Koumas, Kieffer Moore and Ollie Cooper coming on for Danny Ward, Aaron Ramsey, Brennan Johnson, Jordan James and Solva Thomas. Leeds goalkeeper Darlow is making his international debut at the age of 33.
