Portugal draws with Serbia in qualifying for the 2020 European Championship as Cristiano Ronaldo had to leave before halftime after pulling a muscle.
In his second game with the national team since the World Cup, Ronaldo had to leave before halftime after pulling a muscle while sprinting to try to reach a long pass at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon.
The defending European champions loudly complained when the officiating crew reversed a 73rd-minute penalty call after Andre Silva’s header touched the hand of a defender inside the area. The referee appeared to signal the penalty but backtracked after talking with the linesman.In the other Group B match, Ukraine won at Luxembourg 2-1 to take the group lead by one point. Luxembourg stayed with three points, one more than Portugal. Serbia, with a game in hand, has one point.
Ronaldo, who had already been treated for a bleeding nose earlier in the match, walked back to the bench on his own after being replaced by Pizzi Fernandes.
