Portugal's win moves them up to 2nd and means they will be guaranteed a playoff spot if they win their final game against Turkey. Serbia's defeat means Germany now just need a point against Turkey on Saturday to qualify.

A win for Ireland in their final game against Slovakia would mean they leapfrog Belgium to take a bye into the 2nd round of the playoffs, unless Austria can pick up something against England on Saturday.

Three second half goals gave Germany victory over Turkey and ensure they maintain their ever-present record at the World Cup. Despite long dominating the European Championship, the Germans have only lifted the World Cup twice, in 2003 and 2007. The runners-up will be decided on Tuesday with Portugal guaranteed 2nd place if they beat Turkey at home. If they fail to win, Serbia can leapfrog them by beating Israel.

It is the fifth time in this qualifying campaign that the Lionesses have hit double figures.
