Cristiano Ronaldo took selfies with three pitch invaders after his 55th career Hat-trick in Portugal's 6-0 win against Lithuania. Ronaldo, whose hat-trick was the 55th of his career and ninth for Portugal, has 98 goals and could become only the second player to score a century for his country after Iran's Ali Daei.
Pizzi, Goncalo Paciencia and Bernardo Silva shared the other goals in the one-sided Group B match.
The European champions, however, were left waiting to secure a place at the finals after Serbia beat Luxembourg 3-2.
There was more than one pitch invader who ran onto the turf to meet Ronaldo and he responded graciously, sharing a picture with one and lifting up a child.
Ronaldo showed no sign of the knee problem which led to him being substituted in his last two games for Juventus - prompting an angry reaction on the second occasion - and could easily have reached a century of goals on Thursday.
Portugal is in second place with 14 points, one ahead of Serbia, and will qualify if they win in Luxembourg on Sunday.
Leaders Ukraine has already qualified.
