Cristiano Ronaldo moved on to 99 international goals as Portugal beat Luxembourg 2-0 to seal qualification for Euro 2020.
The Juventus star tapped in a shot by teammate Diogo Jota that was just inches from going over the goal-line in the 86th minute, leaving Ronaldo one strike from the 100-goal mark.
Bruno Fernandes got Portugal’s first goal against the flow of play in the 39th minute when he scored from a long pass by Bruno Silva.
Luxembourg had outplayed Portugal until that point, dealing with the poor pitch conditions better than the defending European champions.
Portugal advanced to Euro 2020 in second place in Group B.
Ukraine had already gone through as the group winners.
