Cristiano Ronaldo stormed off the pitch at full time when he was denied a stoppage-time winner in Portugal’s 2-2 draw in Serbia.
Diogo Jota scored two headers for the Group A favourites before Serbia fought back in their World Cup qualifier.
Aleksandar Mitrovic pulled one back before Filip Kostic slotted in.
But the visitors were furious when Ronaldo’s late effort was judged not to have crossed the line.
There was no goal line technology available for the match.
Portugal’s all-time leading scorer was booked for protesting, and at the final whistle threw his captain’s armband to the turf and stormed down the tunnel at the Rajko Mitic Stadium in Belgrade.
“There are moments which are tough to digest especially when we feel the entire nation is being punished,” Ronaldo said on Instagram. “We will keep our heads up and move on to the next challenge.”
