Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 99th international goal as the defending champions edged past Luxembourg 2-0 in difficult conditions away from home on Sunday to qualify for Euro 2020.
Bruno Fernandes broke the deadlock in the 39th minute and Ronaldo wrapped it up with four minutes left to ensure that Portugal finished second in Group B with 17 points, three ahead of Serbia who drew 2-2 with Ukraine.
Diogo Jota's shot appeared to be going in any way but Ronaldo prodded it over to claim the goal. He is one short of joining Iran's Ali Daei, the only player to have scored a century of goals for a national team.
