Portugal draws and postpones qualification

Portugal drew 2-2 with Hungary in the fourth round of Group F of European qualifying, postponing the possibility of qualifying for the final stage of the 2026 World Cup today. A goal by Dominik Szoboszlai, in the 90+1 minute, tied the match at two goals and “silenced” the José Alvalade Stadium, in Lisbon, which was preparing to celebrate Portugal's ninth presence, seventh consecutive, in the final stages. The Portuguese team came very close to securing qualification, after Cristiano Ronaldo scored in the 22nd and 45+3 minutes, becoming the all-time top scorer in World Cup qualifying, “cancelling” the Hungarians’ opening goal, scored by Attila Szalai, in the eighth minute.

The Portuguese team, which visits the Republic of Ireland next round, leads Group F with 10 points, five more than today's opponent, who is second.
