World play-offs 2022 (semi-final): Portugal overcomes Turkey – Eurosport FR

Portugal was (very) scared but will play a “final” to access the World Cup. First largely dominating and ahead of two goals in the score Thursday evening, the men of Fernando Santos came close to being joined at the very end of the meeting, on a penalty finally missed by Burak Yilmaz, already author of the reduction of the score. Otavio and Diogo Jota made the difference in the first half before Matheus Nunes released his side in added time (3-1). The Seleçao will not face the expected opponent, since it is North Macedonia, surprise fallers from Italy at the same time (1-0), who will come to the Dragon stadium on Tuesday.Premier LeagueManchester City and Portugal lose big: Dias out four to six weeks04/03/2022 At 19:11Portugal dominated, then scared themselves, then broke free. The Seleçao and its audience at the Dragon stadium went through all the states on Tuesday evening, during this semi-final of the play-offs for the next World Cup. Everything ended well for the men of Fernando Santos, who will learn more as soon as they return to the locker room that they will face… North Macedonia on Tuesday evening, for a place in Qatar. A major surprise, while everyone was naturally expecting Portugal – Italy in the final. Yilmaz missed the extra-time penalty But this evening of play-offs could have taken an even crazier turn. In front of two goals against a very disappointing Turkey on the hour mark, the locals let their opponent get back into the game. After an exchange with Cengiz Ünder, Burak Yilmaz has indeed reduced the score (2-1, 65th). Then, following a slight foul by José Fonte on Enes Unal, the Lille striker had the opportunity to equalize from the penalty spot. Problem, his attempt ended in the sky of Porto… The turning point of this end of the meeting, of course. Because behind, Stefan Kuntz’s troops no longer created danger, and those of Santos made the break thanks to two entrants: Rafael Leao, passer for Matheus Nunes, scorer (3-1, 94th). Cristiano Ronaldo could even have made the bill a little more difficult if he hadn’t touched the bar in the final action of the game (95th). The Otavio showBefore that, it was a fairly quiet evening for the CR7 teammates, carried in particular by the very good Otavio. The stirring winger from Porto opened the scoring in fox, following a strike from Bernardo Silva pushed back by the post (1-0, 15th). Then he dropped a ball on the head of Digo Jota (1-0, 42nd), who thus made up for his huge missed opportunity at the start of the match (11th). Under (21st), Kutlu (22nd), Yilmaz (25th) and Kokçu (27th), they lacked skill in the only real Turkish highlight of this meeting.
