Hamburg - Germany and Switzerland booked their places at the 2010 World Cup finals with qualification victories on Saturday. A 35th-minute Miroslav Klose goal gave Germany a 1-0 win over Russia in Moscow to give Joachim Loew's side an unassailable lead in Group 4 and consign the Russians to a play-off tie next month.
Germany survived the 69th-minute dismissal of Jerome Boateng who was sent off for a second booking on his international debut.
Two goals from defender Philippe Senderos inthe sixth and eighth minutes and a third from Benjamin Huggel in the 23rd earned Switzerland a 3-0 win at Luxembourg.
The Swiss under Ottmar Hitzfeld cannot be caught in Group 2 where Greece were playing Latvia later in a match between two sides now battling for second place.
Bosnia-Herzegovina earned a 2-0 win at Estonia with goals from Edin Dzeko (32nd minute) and Vedad Ibisevic (66th) to make sure of a play-off place behind European champions Spain in Group 5.
Turkey, who were playing later in Belgium, now have no hope of qualification from the group.
Already-qualified Spain made it nine straight wins with a 2-1 victory in Armenia.
Juan Manuel Mata hit the winner from the penalty spot in the 64th minute after Robert Arzumanyan had six minutes earlier equalized an early Cesc Fabregas goal for Spain.
Elsewhere in matches with no bearing on qualification, Belarus downed Kazakhstan 4-0 in Group 6, while Finland - Germany's Group 4 opponents on Wednesday - earned a 2-1 win over Wales.
