Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal start up World Cup qualifying this week in hopes of putting this past weekend’s ugliness behind them.
Portugal drew 2-2 against a resilient Serbian squad that scored two goals from behind to ultimately steal a point away from the reigning European Champions. The controversy comes with a game-winning stoppage-time Ronaldo goal that was kicked out beyond the goal line. Which caused the veteran forward to rush to the line judge and eventually walk off the pitch with his captain’s arm band in hand.
They now walk into Tuesday’s matchup against Luxembourg with a must win mentality, as they’ve learned to leave nothing up to chance.
Elsewhere, Spain will take on Kosovo after a weekend scare of their own against Georgia. England will take on a Robert Lewandowski-less Poland squad midweek.

TOP 5 MATCHES TO WATCH
- Luxembourg vs. Portugal – A controversial call on Saturday that caused Portugal to draw 2-2 with Serbia has the reigning European champions second in Group A. Heading into the week Os Navegadores are back at it against Luxembourg.
- Spain vs. Kosovo– The Red Fury escaped a possible upset by Georgia over the weekend, as they went into halftime down 1-0. A Ferran Torres leveler in the 56th minute and extra time game winner by Dani Olmo kept Spain from losing their first World Cup qualifier in 28 years. They now focus on Kosovo, which enters Wednesday’s match after a 3-0 defeat at the hands of a Sweden.
- England vs. Poland – The Three Lions appear to be facing a Poland side without Robert Lewandowski on Wednesday. As the Bayern Munich striker suffered a knee injury in Poland’s weekend match against Andorra. It’s a big blow for the White and Reds and maybe a big break for England.
- Olympic Qualifying: Final – The USMNT U-23s are now out of the running after a 2-1 loss to Honduras in their semifinals matchup over the weekend. Tuesday’s final between Mexico and Honduras will be purely to crown a champion of the tournament as both squads have qualified for the Tokyo Olympics by winning their semifinal matchups.
- Olympique Lyonnais Féminines vs PSG – The reigning five-time title holders are back to face the last club to knock them out of the competition in PSG. Lyon took the first leg 1-0 back on March 24, but their domestic rivals have ended other streaks recently enough to make Wednesday’s match completely up for grabs.
