CHISINAU, Moldova (AP) -Mirko Vucinic struck a late winner to give 10-man Montenegro a priceless 1-0 victory over Moldova in World Cup qualifying on Friday, ensuring that his side stays top of Group H ahead of its showdown with England next week.

Montenegro's Milorad Pekovic was dismissed for a second yellow card in the 61st minute but it didn't prevent his side taking the points after Vucinic volleyed home in the 78th at Zimbru Stadium.

With 13 points on the board from five games, the victory maintained Montenegro's two-point lead over second-place England, which romped to an 8-0 victory over San Marino.

The top two sides meet in Podgorica on Tuesday for a game that could go a long way to deciding which team qualifies automatically for next year's tournament in Brazil.
