- Sergei Zenjov - 35', 63'
Estonia 2-0 San Marino
Estonia kept alive slim hopes of forcing their way into contention for a play-off place in Group E with a 2-0 Euro 2016 qualifying win over San Marino in Tallinn.Sergei Zenjov netted a brace on his 100th appearance as Estonia moved up into fourth, just two points behind Slovenia, beaten at home by group leaders England, and Switzerland, who have played a match less.San Marino, rock bottom of the table, missed an early chance to record a first goal of the qualifying campaign when Luca Tosi's shot was saved by Mihkel Aksalu, who then blocked a header by Lorenzo Gasperoni from the corner.Estonia, though, soon took hold of the match, with Rauno Alliku and Zenjov both going close.The home side were head on 35 minutes when Zenjov stabbed the ball home at the far post from a cross by Joel Lindpere on the right.Defender Ken Kallaste hit a post early in the second half, before Zenjov added a second from close range just after the hour.San Marino midfielder Jose Hirsch dragged a shot wide with 20 minutes left, but the wait for the Principality to score goes on.ends
