Portugal scored all five of their goals in the first half to continue their perfect record of eight qualifying wins in eight games, inflicting the joint-heaviest ever defeat on the hosts in the process.
It took Portugal just five minutes to open their account as Ronaldo converted from the spot after Adrian Leon Barisic was adjudged to have handled Felix’s shot. Cancelo curled a beautiful shot into the top corner from the edge of the penalty but worse was to come for the bewildered hosts as Felix made it five before half-time.It was a damage limitation exercise for the hosts after the break and despite being jeered by their home supporters as they returned to the pitch, the second half was a much improved and disciplined display.
Savo Milosevic’s side are, however, guaranteed a play-off place after winning their UEFA Nations League group.
