Hungary's 8-0 win over San Marino was the biggest by any side so far in qualifying but was still some way short of Hungary's record -- a 13-1 win over France in 1927 -- and enough only for third place in the Group E.

The Netherlands has nine points, three more than Sweden and Hungary.

Elsewhere, Estonia scored three goals in the last 30 minutes to rally from 1-0 down and take second place with a surprise 3-1 win at World Cup qualifier Serbia. Portugal won Paulo Bento's first game as coach 3-1 against Denmark for its first win in qualifying.

Slovenia beat Faeroe Islands 5-1 in the other match with a hat trick by Tim Matavz while Norway won 2-1 at Cyprus.

Russia joined Ireland and Slovakia in a three-way tie at the top of Group B after Alexander Kerzhakov, Alan Dzagoev and Roman Shirokov scored for a 3-2 win over the Irish in Dublin.

Slovakia, which made it through to the second round of the World Cup ahead of Italy, missed the chance to take sole possession of first place when it slumped to a shock 3-1 loss at Armenia.
