Cannot get options from specific select

I'm using cheerio and nodejs for scrape all the countries available on a site, essentially I did:

const rp = require('request-promise');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');

const options =
{
    uri: 'https://uk.soccerway.com/',
    transform: function(body)
    {
      return cheerio.load(body);
    }
};

rp(options)
  .then(($) =>
  {
    $('#navbar-left > div:eq(2) > select > option').each(function() 
    {
      console.log($(this).val());
    });
  }).catch((err) =>
  {
      console.log(err);
  })

I want get all the coutnries of Club Domestic, unfortunately my code return this:

SyntaxError: unmatched pseudo-class :eq

what is that?

UPDATE

new code (iteration will not start):

request('https://uk.soccerway.com/', function(err, resp, html)
{
  if (!err)
  {
    const $ = cheerio.load(html);

    var countriesMenu = find($, '#navbar-left > div:eq(2) option');

    $(countriesMenu).each(function()
    {
      console.log($(this).val());
    });
  }
});

As mentioned in the comments, the psuedo-class :eq is not supported in cheerio. You're not using jQuery here, the $ is the cheerio object.

Here's a plugin you can use: https://github.com/watson/cheerio-eq

The :eq pseudo-class is not implemented. Calling .eq() should work, though.
