Cristiano Ronaldo Scores, Portugal Beats Serbia 4-2 in Euro 2020 Qualifier

Cristiano Ronaldo hit the mark as Portugal beat Serbia 4-2 on Saturday to clinch their first win during qualification for UEFA Euro 2020, climbing two places up to second in Group B.

William Carvalho was an unlikely provider of the breakthrough and poked Portugal in front following a goalkeeping error. Goncalo Guedes showed a little more quality when he doubled their advantage just before the hour mark, helping secure what could prove to be a pivotal qualifying win.

Nikola Milenkovic and Aleksandar Mitrovic each scored for Serbia, but their revival attempt proved insufficient as Ronaldo and Bernardo Silva netted Portugal's third and fourth at Red Star Stadium in Belgrade, Serbia.
