The Portuguese put nine past Luxembourg

Diogo Jota played all 90 minutes in Portugal’s sixth straight win, maintaining their perfect record in Group J of the European Qualifiers.

Jota scored twice in the second half Monday night against Luxembourg, and further set up an assist for Ricardo Horta — having a hand in Portugal’s fifth, sixth, and seventh goals.
