Portugal fulfilled the visit to Gibraltar (3-0), they simply did not reach the historic goal that was expected to happen due to the inspiration of the goalkeeper of the local team, who took the bread out of the mouth of the Portuguese forwards a good handful of times. The National Team made 29 shots, 20 of them on target, against only 4 from the host team.
With this result, and with the Netherlands already classified, Portugal will now try to be one of the best runners-up, to guarantee direct qualification to the European Championship next year. In theory it will be enough to win two of the three games that Rui Jorge’s team will play in November, all at home: 12 against Belarus, 15 with Cyprus and 18 with the Netherlands.
