Germany scored five times in 27 minutes in the first half to crush Estonia 8-0 on Tuesday and make it three wins in three Euro 2020 Group C qualifiers.
The Germans are now on nine points, three behind group leaders Northern Ireland, who have four wins from four but needed an 86th-minute winner by Paddy McNair to edge past hosts Belarus 1-0.
Two goals from Marco Reus and one apiece from Serge Gnabry, Leon Goretzka and Ilkay Gundogan’s penalty saw the Germans kill off the game by the 37th minute.
Gnabry then grabbed his second goal after the break before Timo Werner and Leroy Sane also got on the scoresheet.
Meanwhile, France got back to winning ways with a 4-0 victory in Andorra, after losing 2-0 to Turkey last Friday.
Kylian Mbappe put the World Cup holders in charge with a cool chipped finish in the 11th minute, before Wissam Ben Yedder and Florian Thauvin further stretched their lead before halftime and defender Kurt Zouma completed the scoring on the hour-mark.
