: Iceland, on 18 points, can secure their berth later on Sunday when they host bottom placed Kazakhstan, needing only draw, according to Euro News. The Czechs finished nervously as they dealt with a late rally from Latvia, who pulled a goal back through Arturs Zjurzins with 17 minutes left and then gallantly tried without success to find an equaliser. David Limbersky and Vladmir Darida scored the first-half goals to lift the Czechs to 19 points, out of the reach of third placed Turkey and Netherlands with two matches to play next month. But it was their early dominance that laid the platform for Czech success with two goals inside the first half hour. Darida drove home a shot from the edge of the penalty area to double the lead. Limbersky opening goal came after just 13 minutes at the end of a smart short corner routine and a powerful shot from close range as Latvia defence were caught napping.
