The Czechs showed no hangover from their weekend defeat to Spain with Baros taking just three minutes to sweep home from a Tomas Rosicky pass. Michael Kadlec's 70th-minute header sealed a 2-0 win.

Sweden moved into second place in Group E behind runaway leaders Holland with a 2-1 win over Moldova in Solna.

Mikael Lustig opened the scoring for the Swedes on the half-hour before captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic missed a penalty.

Ibrahimovic atoned for his error nine minutes from time when he squared for Sebastian Larsson to make the game safe. Alexandru Suvorov scored an injury-time consolation.

Turkey kept up the pressure in Group A behind leaders Germany with a vital 2-0 win over Austria in Istanbul, Arda Turan and Gokhan Gonul scoring for the home side.

Israel leapfrogged Georgia in an increasingly tight Group F with a 1-0 win over their in-form rivals in Tel Aviv, Tal Ben Haim scoring the only goal of the game in the 59th minute.

Adrian Mutu scored twice as Romania got back on track in Group D with a 3-1 win over Luxembourg, but they had to come from behind to do it.

Lars Gerson gave the visitors a shock 22nd-minute lead, but Mutu equalised two minutes later and added his second on 68. Ianis Zicu made it safe for Romania 12 minutes from time.
