Alvaro Morata's late goal helped Spain qualify for the 2022 World Cup as they beat Sweden 1-0.

Sweden goalkeeper Robin Olsen tipped Dani Olmo's shot on to the crossbar with Morata on hand to tap the ball in after 86 minutes.

Spain needed just a point to top Group B while Sweden needed to win to finish above their opponents.

The result means Spain have qualified for a 12th consecutive World Cup finals.

Meanwhile, Serbia booked their place at next year's World Cup and condemned Portugal to the play-offs after securing a 2-1.

Portugal only needed a draw to qualify.

Serbia’s late goal prompted wild celebrations on the bench and on the pitch from the Serbia players and staff while the Portuguese team stood in disbelief with the home crowd silenced.
