Serbia took the lead through Anđela Frajtović in the 6th minute, but the visitors achieved a turnaround and triumph with the goals of Joana Marchão in the 40th minute and Francisca Nazareth in the second minute of stoppage time in the first half.
A draw was enough for coach Predrag Grozdanović’s team to hope for a place in the play-off for the World Cup before the final round, but Portugal triumphed and took second place with 19 points and has one point more than Serbia.
Thus, in the last round of qualifications on September 6, the Serbian soccer players will have to defeat Israel on the road and hope for a setback against the Portuguese, who welcome Turkey.
Both matches are scheduled for 18:30.
The leader of Group H is Germany, which has 21 points after eight games played, and in the last round they will host Bulgaria on September 6, also at 18:30.
In the ninth round of Group H qualification for the World Cup, Israel defeated Bulgaria 2:0 (0:0) on Thursday, and Turkey and Germany will meet on Saturday at 2:45 p.m.
The FIFA Women’s World Cup will be held from July 20 to August 20, 2023 in Australia and New Zealand.
