Serbia 2-1 Jamaica
Serbia extended their unbeaten run to seven matches as they held off a resurgent Jamaica team in New Jersey, United States. Goals from Dušan Tadić and Aleksandar Kolarov gave Ljubinko Drulović’s side a 2-0 lead inside 22 minutes, and only fine goalkeeping from Andre Phillips before half-time denied them a third. Jamaica improved after the restart, with Michael Seaton halving the deficit, but Serbia played out the victory.
FYROM 0-2 Cameroon
Playing without seven regular starters, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia were outplayed by FIFA World Cup hopefuls Cameroon in Kufstein, Austria. Volker Finke’s side missed a host of excellent chances before Pierre Webó finally broke the deadlock with a superb bicycle kick after the interval. Eric Choupo-Moting, who hit the crossbar in the first period, sealed victory with a half-volley sixth minutes from time. FYROM rarely threatened, their best opportunity coming midway through the second half from Blaže Ilijoski.
Estonia 1-1 Gibraltar
Andres Oper endured a forgettable swan song as he exited the international stage on the back of a shock draw. Estonia’s 38-goal record scorer, 36, had plenty of opportunities to add to that tally in his 134th and final game for the country but the hosts struggled to make the most of their superior possession. Ragnar Klavan broke the deadlock following a set piece just after the half-hour but Estonia could not muster a response when Jake Gosling capitalised on a defensive lapse and equalised midway through the second half.
Montenegro 0-0 Iran
Despite periods of dominance for Iran, clear-cut chances were few and far between and Mladen Božović in the Montenegro goal was rarely called into action. Marko Vešović made one desperate clearance, while Reza Ghoochannejhad squandered the best opening of the game for the FIFA World Cup hopefuls, heading just wide of the post before the interval. Darko Nikac could have won it for Montenegro at the death, but failed to capitalise on goalkeeper Rahman Ahmadi’s hesitation in the penalty area.
