Ronaldo celebrate with his mates

Portugal sealed their place at the 2020 European Championship with a 2-0 win away at Luxembourg on Sunday afternoon.

Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring for Portugal in the 39th minute before Cristiano Ronaldo registered his 99th international goal four minutes from time.

For Portugal's first strike, it came via the brilliant vision of Bernardo Silva and the excellent touch of Fernandes.

The Manchester City playmaker looked up and played a pinpoint ball into the path of Fernandes, whose wonderful control allowed him to quickly look up at the goalkeeper and fire into the bottom right corner.

The 86th minute saw Cristiano find his way onto the scoresheet, making it four goals in two games over this international break, although it was one of the ugliest goals the 34-year-old has scored in his career.

Bernardo Silva was one again involved as his inswinging cross from the right-hand side, yet Diogo Jota's acrobatic effort from close range bounced away from the goalkeeper and enabled Cristiano to bundle it over the line from a yard out.

This result means that Portugal have become the 13th team to qualify for next summer's European Championship, where they will look to defend their crown after winning in France in 2016.
