The first and second in group A met in a directly decisive match for the direct place in the World Cup 2022. Portugal had the upper hand due to a better goal difference and Serbia thus needed to win away.
Serbia ended up in an early disadvantage but caught up.
And in the final stages of the match, Aleksander Mitrovic was able to nod in 2-1 to Serbia and thus force Portugal to the playoffs.
Thus, Sweden may end up in a situation where they are up against Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal.
- I have not looked at anything.
We have to digest this then there will be a playoff draw next Friday and then we know which teams are there.
I have no thoughts about it today, says Sweden's national team captain Janne Andersson.
Serbia is the ninth country to qualify for next year's World Cup after Spain, Croatia, Belgium, Denmark, France and Germany from Europe, Brazil from South America and the host country Qatar.
