Serbia clinched an automatic berth at the 2022 World Cup after a 90th-minute header by the half-time substitute Aleksandar Mitrovic gave them a comeback 2-1 win over Portugal in their Group A qualifier in Lisbon.
The result lifted Serbia into top spot on 20 points, three more than second-placed Portugal, who needed a draw to finish top on goal difference and qualify but will now head into the play-offs in March.
