Portugal is yet to secure their place for the FIFA 2022 World Cup. As it finished second behind Serbia in Group B of the World Cup Qualifiers.
In their last meeting, Serbia took the match away from Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal by a goal. Aleksandar Mitrovic found the net in stoppage time to ensure their participation in FIFA World Cup 2022. Portugal needed a draw for direct qualification but their hopes were shattered with the winner in the dying minutes of the game.
"Football has shown us time and again that sometimes the path is more torturous but drives us to more desired results,". Ronaldo on social media.
He further said: "Yesterday's result was very hard, but not enough to sink us. Our objective to get to the 2022 World Cup is still very alive and we know what we have to do to achieve it. There are no excuses, Portugal are going to Qatar,"
Portugal can still make it to the main event by qualifying through the playoffs. This will be the third time that the Portuguese will have to qualify for the main tournament after participating in the playoffs. For the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, they had a similar situation during qualifications.

Portugal advanced in emphatic style, overcoming an early setback to defeat Denmark 5-2 on the night and 5-3 on aggregate. Despite Cristiano Ronaldoโs shocking penalty miss in the 6th minute, Portugal found their breakthrough thanks to a bit of fortune โ a Joachim Andersen own goal in the 38th minute gave them a narrow halftime lead.
Denmark came out fighting in the second half, with Rasmus Kristensenโs composed finish in the 56th minute briefly sparking hope for the Danes. But when the pressure mounted, Portugalโs stars rose to the occasion. Ronaldo redeemed himself with a 72nd-minute strike, only for Christian Eriksen to level things again just four minutes later in a dramatic exchange.
The turning point came through Francisco Trincรฃo, whose clinical finishes in the 81st and 91st minutes shattered Danish resilience. Gonรงalo Ramos sealed the victory in extra time with a composed goal in the 115th minute, ensuring Portugalโs place in the next round.
Ronaldoโs missed penalty could have defined the night โ but instead, it was Portugalโs relentless attacking depth and resilience that stole the show.
