Portugal cruise past Azerbaijan sans Ron

Portugal ‘s Bernardo Silva

Portugal eased to a 3-0 victory in a World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan on Tuesday that sent them top of Group A, but they are still short of automatic qualification. The Portuguese hold a two point advantage over Serbia.

The Portuguese did not need the absent Cristiano Ronaldo, who was suspended, as Bernardo Silva opened the scoring on 26 minutes before Andre Silva added a second five minutes later. Liverpool forward Diogo Jota completed the job with a second-half header.
