Robert Lewandowski nets again as Scotland crashed out, Portugal and Northern Ireland book their place at the finals next year, and Germany are stunned.
Lewandowski has been on an incredible run of form in recent weeks, and added two more to his tally against Scotland at Hampden Park.
He netted the opener, but goals from Matt Ritchie and Steven Fletcher kept the hosts’ hopes alive. However, Lewandowski’s last-second equaliser meant the Scots crashed out.
Northern Ireland qualified for their first major finals since 1986 after beating Greece 3-1 at Windsor Park.
Skipper Steven Davis netted a brace after Josh Magennis got the opener, meaning Christos Aravidis’ late goal was nothing more than a consolation.
Portugal will also feature in the finals in France after a 1-0 win over Denmark at Avenida Stadium.
Nani and Niclas Bendtner hit the woodwork for either side after the break before Joao Moutinho’s strike from distance secured the points needed for qualification.
Republic of Ireland will qualify for the finals should they beat Poland in their final game – this after a sensational victory against Germany in Dublin.
Joachim Low's side dominated possession, but the only goal of the game came in the 70th minute through Shane Long.
