MATCH REPORT AS PORTUGAL THRASH BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to help Portugal record an emphatic 5-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, who suffered their joint heaviest ever defeat.
Portugal had already sealed their UEFA Euro 2024 place in Germany next summer following their 3-2 win over Slovakia on Friday, with Ronaldo - again - scoring twice.
Regardless, Roberto Martinez named a strong starting line-up for this Group J encounter and was rewarded with five first-half goals.
Bruno Fernandes, Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix also scored as Portugal made it eight wins from eight in style.

MISERY FOR DISMAL BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
They were improved in the second half but let's be honest, they couldn't have been any worse than what we witnessed in the first period.
Slovakia's 1-0 win over Luxembourg means Bosnia and Herzegovina can no longer qualify for UEFA Euro 2024 through the group stages.
But having won their Nations League group, they are already assured of a play-off place.

DELIGHT FOR RAMPANT PORTUGAL
Portugal make it eight wins from eight in style in Group J, eight points above Slovakia with top spot in the pool already assured.
Ronaldo now has 127 goals for his country - nine coming in the current qualifying campaign.
