Portugal snatch win after Kelleher saves Ronaldo penalty
England can seal qualification on Tuesday as Serbia lose
Rúben Neves got Portugal out of jail with an injury-time World Cup qualifying winner against the Republic of Ireland after Cristiano Ronaldo had seen his penalty saved by Caoimhín Kelleher.
Neves headed home in stoppage time to snatch a 1-0 win, four years after Ronaldo had scored twice at the death to see off a stubborn Ireland.
Heimir Hallgrímsson’s men looked set to leave Lisbon with a hard-fought point but ultimately did so empty-handed, although having restored a good deal of pride with a battling display which erased some of the memories of last month’s embarrassing defeat in Armenia.
