Estonia have kept their faint hopes of qualification for Euro 2016 alive with a 1-0 win against Lithuania in Group E.

Ragnar Klavan came close for Estonia early on, with his shot from just outside of the box going just wide of the left-hand post.

Lithuania's Mindaugas Panka tried his luck from well over 35 yards but the attempt was straight at Estonian stopper Mihkel Aksalu.

Vykintas Slivka had an opportunity late in the first half but the Lithuanian's effort was tipped over the top by Aksalu.

Panka had another opportunity just after half time but his long-range effort was easily saved before Klavan had a header from 12 yards out go over the bar.

The deadlock was broken with just under 20 minutes remaining, Konstantin Vassiljev made himself some space in the box and smacked the ball into the top corner after excellent work from Sergei Zenjov to leave the ball for the forward.

Lukas Spalvis had a chance late on to equalise but his weak header was kept out with ease.

Estonia leap-frog Slovenia into third, who play against Switzerland later tonight, but they still need results to go their way to stand any chance of finishing there, whilst Lithuania remain fifth in Group E.
