Bruno Fernandes created two goals while Cristiano Ronaldo and Bernardo Silva both struck late as Portugal, who lost Nelson Semedo to injury, won 4-2 away to Serbia in Euro 2020 qualifying on Saturday.

Goals from William Carvalho and Goncalo Guedes put Portugal in control but an injury to Barcelona full-back Semedo, who left the field after a heavy Aleksandar Kolarov challenge, appeared to disrupt their rhythm.
Nikola Milenkovic s first international goal prompted hope of a Serbia fightback but Ronaldo and Silva scored either side of Aleksandar Mitrovic s rocket with the result …
A first-half header from Mitch Duke was enough to see off Tunisia and ignite Australia s hopes of progressing to the World Cup knockout stages in a 1-0 victory.

Tunisia have a solitary point from their two games and will have to beat defending champions France on Wednesday and hope other results go their way.
Australia shaded a frantic opening but could not profit from a series of crosses into the Tunisia box.
Delivering the ball from wide areas was clearly a key part of the Australia strategy and it paid dividends midway through th…
