Euro 2012 round-up:Croatia all but guaranteed themselves a place at Euro 2012 after hammering hosts Turkey 3-0 in the first leg of their play-off at the Ataturk Stadium. Ivica Olic gave Slaven Bilic's side the perfect start when he turned home Vedran Corluka's cross from close range with just two minutes on the clock.
Mario Mandzukic doubled the lead half an hour later when he nodded past the flailing Volkan Demirel at the far post, before Corluka completed the scoring in the 51st minute with only his second international goal.
A late header from Tomas Sivok saw the Czech Republic put one foot in the finals with a 2-0 victory over Montenegro. The Czechs held a narrow lead after Vaclav Pilar’s 63rd-minute goal but Sivok’s goal in injury time gives them a clear advantage going into the second leg in Montenegro.
Bosnia-Herzegovina failed to make the most of home advantage as they played out a dire goalless draw with Portugal in Zenica. Possession was dominated by the visitors but Helder Postiga missed the best of what chances they created, while Cristiano Ronaldo again struggled to recreate his club form in a Portugal shirt.
Despite that, Portugal will feel they are best placed to qualify ahead of the second leg in Lisbon on Tuesday night.
