FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifiers: Bruno's brace seals Portugal World Cup spot

The Hindu  

Portugal's Bruno Fernandes scored twice as it beat stubborn visitor North Macedonia 2-0 to qualify for the World Cup finals in Qatar after a tense European playoff tie on Tuesday. Roared on by 50,000 fans at a sold-out Dragao Stadium in Porto, Portugal dominated the game from the start but struggled to break down the strong North Macedonian defence, managing only three shots on target despite having almost 70% possession. The 27-year-old attacking midfielder sealed Portugal's win in the 65th minute, striking home a close-range volley from a Diogo Jota cross. Portugal, which won the 2016 European Championship in France, qualified for a sixth straight World Cup finals and has not missed a major international competition in the last 20 years.
