Greece were equally emphatic. After losing at home by a solitary goal, they pumped in three unanswered goals against Scotland to seal the promotion to the top tier. They won the tie 3-1.
Turkiye and Serbia also scripted commanding performances in their respective reverse fixtures, against Hungary and Austria to complete 6-1 and 3-1 aggregate wins, respectively.

While a ruthless Georgia hammered neighbours Armenia 6-1 to complete a resounding 9-1 win on aggregate, Kosovo scored three times against Iceland for a 5-2 verdict.
But the clashes involving the Republic of Ireland vs Bulgaria and Slovenia vs Slovakia were not so straightforward. While Ireland found the winner late in the match to edge past Bulgaria (4-2 agg), Slovenia needed extra time to score the only goal in their two-legged affair against Slovakia.

Bulgaria 1-2 Ireland; Ireland 2-1 Bulgaria
Armenia 0-3 Georgia; Georgia 6-1 Armenia
