IT was a veritable goalfest in last night’s Euro 2012 qualifiers as some of Europe’s heavywights flexed their muscles.

Germany became the first team to qualify for the finals when they thrashed neighbours Austria 6-2 in Gelsenkirchen thanks in part to a hat-trick from Mesut Oezil.

Not to be outdone, Robin van Persie scored four goals as the Netherlands annihilated San Marino 11-0.
