Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante scored just his second international goal as France defeated European champion Portugal 1-0 in Lisbon to secure a place in next year’s Nations League finals. Kante was quickest to react to a rebound as he netted the winner on 53 minutes that clinched France top spot in its group. France lead Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal by three points ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Sweden in Paris but is guaranteed first place by virtue of its superior head-to-head record.

League C: Group 1: Cyprus 2 (Kastanos 34-pen, 71) bt Luxembourg 1 (Kousoulos 5-og); Azerbaijan 0 drew with Montenegro 0.
