Russia and Slovakia are the latest teams into the finals, Sweden, Ukraine and Slovenia are in the play-offs, and Hungary remain the best third-placed side: we look at how the groups stand.

Russia confirmed their place at Euro 2016 with a 2-0 win over Montenegro in Moscow to finish second in Group G behind Austria which means third-placed Sweden will have to qualify through the play-offs despite beating Moldova 2-0 in their final game.

Montenegro held out for more than 30 minutes at the Otkrytiye Arena before Oleg Kuzmin put Russia in front after being played in by Igor Denisov. Soon afterwards Dmitri Kombarov was fouled in the area and Aleksandr Kokorin dispatched the penalty, sending the Montenegro goalkeeper, Milan Mijatovic, the wrong way.

In Solna Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring for Sweden in the 23rd minute, controlling a pass from Mikael Lustig on his chest and rounding the Moldovagoalkeeper, Ilie Cebanu.

Sweden’s captain was also involved in their second goal just after the break. As Ibrahimovic pursued a long ball Cebanu raced from his area but succeeded only in heading his clearance to John Guidetti who calmly set up Erkan Zengin to score.

Austria ended their qualifying campaign with a ninth win in 10 games, defeatingLiechtenstein 3-0 in Vienna through goals from Marc Janko (2) and Marko Arnautovic.

Slovakia defeated Luxembourg 4-2 to pip Ukraine and book their place in France as Group C runners-up behind Spain, although they had to withstand a spirited second-half fightback by their hosts.

The Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik gave Slovakia the lead after 24 minutes, outwitting his marker to slot home left-footed. Adam Nemec doubled the lead from a cross by Vladimir Weiss, who had created the first goal and did likewise for the third from Robert Mak after 30 minutes.

Luxembourg reduced the arrears in the 61st minute when their captain Mario Mutsch’s effort found the net via a deflection. They struck again four minutes later, Lars Gerson converting from the penalty spot. But Slovakia had the last word when Hamsik scored his second from a breakaway in the final minute.

Switzerland, already qualified from Group E with England, were heading for a goalless draw against Estonia in Tallinn, before an own goal by Ragnar Klavan in added time gave them victory.

Slovenia qualified for the play-offs with a 2-0 win over San Marino in Serravalle with second-half goals from Bojan Perec and Nejc Pecnik.
