Portugal missed out on automatic qualification for the 2022 World Cup in dramatic circumstances as Serbia scored a late winner to prevail 2-1 and book their place in Qatar instead.
Going into the game, Portugal knew that if they avoided defeat then they would qualify. However, despite taking the lead through Renato Sanches, a goal from Dusan Tadic pulled Serbia level before substitute Aleksandar Mitrovic got the winner in the dying moments.
Portugal still have an opportunity to qualify, but it was a hugely frustrating night for Fernando Santos’ side, especially with Cristiano Ronaldostruggling to make much of an impact.
