Serbia downed Azerbaijan 4-1 in Belgrade with two goals from captain Branislav Ivanovic ahead of their Euro 2016 Group I qualifier in Denmark on Saturday.

Adem Ljajic and Lazar Markovic were also on target while Dmitry Nazarov netted for Azerbaijan.

BELARUS 2 RUSSIA 4

Russia, who play Group G leaders Austria in Moscow Sunday, defeated Belarus 4-2 in Khimki, with two goals from teenage duo Aleksandr Golovin and Aleksei Miranchuk on their debuts.

Aleksandr Kokorin gave Russia the lead but two goals from Sergei Kislyak put the visitors ahead. Golovin came off the bench to level and fellow substitute Miranchuk gave Russia the lead, with Aleksandr Kerzhakov completing the scoring in stoppage time.

ARGENTINA 5 BOLIVIA 0

Uruguay handed Guatemala a 5-1 roasting in a friendly that augurs well for their defence of the Copa America in the absence of suspended striker Luis Suarez.

Argentina also impressed in the lead-up to the tournament in Chile, with Sergio Aguero scoring a hat-trick and Angel Di Maria a brace in their 5-0 demolition of Bolivia in San Juan.

Despite missing Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez, all of whom played in the Champions League final, Argentina found it just as easy against Bolivia.

Di Maria had the opener after 24 minutes, Aguero got his first four minutes later with a penalty kick and then added another on the half-hour when he clipped home a cross at the near post.

Di Maria slotted home from the spot at 54 minutes and Aguero sealed his hat-trick a minute later.

FRANCE 3 BELGIUM 4

Belgium warmed up for a Euro 2016 qualifier in Wales Friday by defeating tournament hosts France 4-3 Sunday. Belgium, who are level on points with Wales at the top of Group B, took a two-goal half-time lead at the Stade de France with a double from Maroune Fellaini in the 17th and 42nd minutes.

There was a flurry of goals after the break, with Nadja Nainggolan making it three in the 50th minute, Mathieu Valbuena converting a 53rd-minute penalty for France and Eden Hazard making it four for Belgium from the spot a minute later.

France made the score more respectable when Nabil Fekir scored in the 89th minute and Dimitri Payet added another in stoppage time.

CROATIA 4 GIBRALTAR 0

Croatia, who play Italy on Friday in a key Group H Euro 2016 qualifier, enjoyed a 4-0 win over Gibraltar, who play world champions Germany in Cologne in their group qualifier Saturday. Croatia went ahead in Zagreb through Anas Sharbini and were two up after 15 minutes courtesy of Mateo Kovacic.

Mario Mandzukic converted a penalty on 53 minutes before Andrej Kramaric headed in from a corner.
