Portugal's captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, was picked to the starting lineup by coach Roberto Martinez.
Ronaldo headed home Joao Cancelo's pass in the 23rd minute, but his goal was called out for offside.
Portugal would subsequently take the lead on the stroke of halftime thanks to a stunning goal by Bernardo Silva, who got on the end of Bruno Fernandes' ball.
After the interval, Fernandes became a striker, scoring twice to help Portugal preserve their unblemished start to their qualifying campaign.
During tonight's play in Lisbon, a fan entered the ground and even bowed down to Ronaldo, the 38-year-old striker.
One of the game's highlights came when a fan went onto the field, raced towards Cristiano Ronaldo, and picked him up.
The small youngster seemed to be a tremendous admirer of Ronaldo, judging by the joy on his face as he pulled the former Manchester United star
Many expected Cristiano to react harshly, yet he seemed unconcerned by the situation and can be seen laughing with the youngster in the above picture.
