Two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo helped Portugal seal qualification to next summer's European Championship with three games to spare as the hosts beat Slovakia in Group J in Porto.
After Goncalo Ramos' opener Ronaldo scored a penalty before David Hancko pulled a goal back in the 69th minute.
Portugal captain Ronaldo quickly restored his side's two-goal lead with his 125th international goal.
Stanislav Lobotka added a late second for Slovakia but Portugal held on.
It means the hosts have won all seven of their Group J qualifying fixtures and join France, Belgium and hosts Germany in securing their spot at Euro 2024.
Slovakia remain second in Group J, two points ahead of third-placed Luxembourg who they face on Monday.
