DENMARK V ISRAEL: Three first-half goals secured Denmark a convincing 3-1 win over Israel in Copenhagen in a friendly which was overshadowed by street clashes between Danish police and anti-Israel protesters.

Danish police said they had detained around 150 anti-Israel demonstrators after clashes with 1,800 protesters.

A long-range goal by captain Jan Heintze in the fourth minute gave Denmark the best possible start. Jon Dahl Tomasson grabbed the second just 10 minutes later before PSV Eindhoven forward Dennis Rommedahl pounced at a corner for the third goal in the 37th minute. Israel grabbed a last-minute penalty from Avi Nimny.

SCOTAND v NIGERIA: Two goals from Julius Aghahowa saw Nigeria come from behind to beat Scotland 2-1 in Aberdeen.

ITALY v URUGUAY: World Cup qualifiers Italy and Uruguay drew 1-1 in a low-key friendly at the San Siro stadium last night.

Italy took the lead in the 73rd minute when defender Christian Panucci headed in a corner from Stefano Fiore.

But Uruguay drew level just four minutes later when Gianni Guigou's low-cross struck tall striker Sebastian Abreu and a wrong-footed Italy keeper Francesco Toldo could only palm the ball into his own net.

CROATIA v BOSNIA: A goal in each half from Ivica Olic and Davor Suker gave Croatia a comfortable 2-0 win at home to Bosnia-Herzegovina at the Maksimir stadium.
