A FIFA World Cup 2022 without Cristiano Ronaldo? Well, that was surely on cards. However, both team Portugal and Ronaldo are heading to the Qatar world cup as they defeated North Macedonia to qualify for the finals. A double strike from Bruno Fernandes in the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifiers was enough for the Portugal team to qualify for the most awaited FIFA World Cup.

Bruno Fernandes first found the back of the nets in the 32nd minute of the match. Cristiano Ronaldoโ€™s assist was good enough for the United striker to make it 1-0 for his team. Later, it was again Bruno with the goal as Diego Jotaโ€™s cross from the left-wing found the striker. North Macedonia had started well, but could not maintain the pace against a dedicated Portuguese team.
