Ronaldo in tears, Serbia at the World Cup

The Serbian football team is going directly to the World Cup in Qatar.

Tonight, Dragan Stojković's team defeated Portugal 2:1 in Lisbon in a direct clash for first place and won 1st place in group A ahead of tonight's rival.

The hero is Aleksandar Mitrović. The record holder for the number of goals for the national team was the scorer in the 90th minute and scored the 44th goal in the national team jersey.

Mitrović scored a goal with a header assisted by Tadić, and that collaboration followed Serbia many times in the qualifiers.

Look at the Fulham striker's goal HERE.

Serbia played well during the match, they were not disturbed by the early goal and in the end they deservedly won.

The match in Lisbon started in a nightmare for Serbia. Already in the 2nd minute, Nemanja Gudelj made a mistake, the ball was taken by Bernardo Silva, who assisted Renat Sanchez for leading the domestic selection.

In vain, the coach of Serbia, Dragan Stojković Pixi asked for a foul, the Italian referee, Daniele Orsato, after consultation with VAR, conceded the goal.

That goal did not disturb Serbia too much. The "Eagles" attacked, played very well in the 1st half, hit the post after Dusan Vlahović's shot, and then equalized in the 33rd minute. The captain, Dupan Tadić, shot from the edge of the penalty area, the ball caught Danilo and ended up in Patrici's net.

In the second half, it was not as exciting as in the first, until the very finish and Mitrović's goal. The Fulham striker had another chance before the goal, when he shot with a header, and Vlahović also had a chance, but his shot from 12, 13 meters was blocked.

The captain of Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo watched in disbelief after the second conceded goal, yelled at his teammates, and in the end the players of Serbia had to console him.

In the end, Serbia is first with 20 points, Portugal has three less.

In the second match of group A, the Republic of Ireland defeated Luxembourg 3:0 away from home.
