Portugal vs North Macedonia: Start time| Prediction| 3/29/22
Bruno Fernandes‘ brace sends Portugal to World Cup Bruno Fernandes scored both goals as Portugal beat North Macedonia to make it to Qatar.
Bruno Fernandes grabbed a brace as Portugal secured a 2-0 win over North Macedonia on Tuesday to qualify for the 2022 World Cup final.
The Manchester United midfielder scored a goal in each half as Portugal booked their spot for Qatar later this year.
Start time
Portugal face North Macedonia in tonight’s World Cup play-off final, hoping to book their place in Qatar in 2022.
While on paper Cristiano Ronaldo’s side is a huge favourite, the fact that his opponents conquered Italy in Palermo on Thursday night makes it a potential banana skin. European champions Italy had 32 shots in that match but could not breach North Macedonia’s defence.
In fact, for all Portugal’s merits, they are prone to awkward slip-ups here and there, with Euro 2016 winning coach Fernando Santos coming under enormous pressure for his inability to really make the most of his attacking talent.
For North Macedonia, it is somewhat of a free hit. Growing up on the international stage, they are a dangerous opponent in their own right, but can run the risk of disappointing the home side in their quest for a counter-punch, as they did against the Italians.
Prediction
Refusing to impress in the stunning scenery across the pond in Italy, Portugal and their heavily deficient defense were trapped in their playoff semi-final against Turkey to work hand in hand and quickly through Ottavio’s close-range finish and Diogo. Two goals went well Jota’s expertly placed header.
Burak Yilmaz then went from hero to naught for Turkey, as the Lille legend drove home to cut the deficit before a penalty was placed on the crossbar, and Portugal ensured the result with seconds as Matthias Nunes sealed the scoring. scored a goal.
Euro 2016 winner Joao Cancello, along with his three defensive stalwarts in Pepe and Rubén Dias, were absent for one reason or another, but their rightful place in the World Cup final is now within sight of them.
Portugal have failed to qualify for the biggest tournament of them all since 1998, but Santos has insisted that his side will give North Macedonia the respect they deserve on Tuesday, although Santos was unable to find the back of the net. Shouldn’t be a problem for men.
3/29/22
Portugal booked their place in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar when a brace from Bruno Fernandes helped them win 2-0 over North Macedonia in Porto.
The Manchester United midfielder scored two goals from either side of half-time to help Portugal qualify for their sixth consecutive World Cup final.
After a relatively tense start to a crucial game for both teams, Portugal escalated into a tie and when Cristiano Ronaldo narrowly widened Stoll Dmitrievsky’s away post after a quarter of an hour, he took his showed intent to attack.
The away team never really threatened in the final third throughout the game, but got half a chance five minutes later when Ezjan Alioski’s audacious volley from outside the box caused temporary concern for home goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
