Precious victory for Portugal

Contract completed for Portugal. After his great victory in Armenia (0-5), the Seleçao comforted her place as a leader in group F by winning this Tuesday evening in Hungary (2-3).

Nothing was simple, because the Hungarians hit twice by Barnabas Varga (21st, 84th), the Ferrencvaros scorer. The Portuguese equalized by Bernardo Silva (33rd) and Cristiano Ronaldo (58th SP) had given the advantage to his team. It was finally another player in the Saudi championship, Joao Cancelo, who scored the goal of victory (86th).

After two days in these 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Portugal is three points ahead of Armenia and five on Hungary and Ireland.
