The Real Madrid netted twice for his side in Sunday's World Cup qualifier to ensure they remain within touching distance of Switzerland
Portugal survived a scare and a missed Cristiano Ronaldo penalty as they beat Latvia 4-1 in Sunday's World Cup qualifier.
William Carvalho's first international goal and late efforts from the captain and Bruno Alves rescued the victory after Arturs Zjuzins had shocked Estadio Algarve with a well-taken equaliser midway through the second half.
Ronaldo had put his side ahead from the spot just prior to the half-hour mark, but the Real Madrid star hit the post with a second spot-kick eight minutes before Latvia – who had lost back-to-back games against the Faroe Islands and Hungary – scored their surprise leveller.
