France saw off a spirited challenge from Luxembourg to win 3-1 at Stade Josy Barthel and stay clear at the top of World Cup Qualifying Group A.
Les Bleus took the lead through a close-range finish from Olivier Giroud before both teams won penalties in the space of four first-half minutes.
Aurelien Joachim drew Luxembourg level from the spot in the 34th minute after Blaise Matuidi pushed over Daniel Da Mota.
Da Mota, though, then quickly gave away another penalty at the other end when he tripped Djibril Sidibe, and Antoine Griezmann put France back in front.
Giroud nodded in a late third to secure the victory which sees France move back above Sweden, who had earlier defeated Belarus 4-0 in Solna.
Emil Forsberg scored twice, the first from the penalty spot for Sweden, before goals from Marcus Berg and Isaac Kiese Thelin completed a comfortable win at the Friends Arena over Belarus.
Bosnia-Herzegovina were 5-0 winners at home to minnows Gibraltar. A Vedad Ibisevic double and further strikes from Avdija Vrsajevic, Edin Visca and Ermin Bicakcic helped the hosts complete a comfortable win.
The other game in Group H saw Cyprus and Estonia share a goalless draw.
Switzerland extended their lead at the top of Group B to six points after a 66th minute header from substitute Josip Drmic gave them a 1-0 home win over Latvia, while Andorra earned their first point by holding the Faroe Islands to a 0-0 draw.
