Cristiano Ronaldo scored four goals in Portugal's 5‑1 win over last‑place Lithuania in qualifying for the 2020 European Championship this morning.

Ronaldo scored early in the first half and added three more in the second after the hosts had evened the match before halftime.

William Carvalho wrapped up the scoring in stoppage time.

It was the second consecutive qualifying victory for Portugal after it opened Group B with two straight draws at home. It moved to second place with eight points, five fewer than leader Ukraine. Third‑place Serbia, which won 3‑1 at Luxembourg, has seven points.

Portugal, the defending European champion, dominated throughout in Vilnius, finishing with 31 total attempts.
