Cristiano Ronaldo receives the best news of his life

And this news was not only the victory of the Portuguese national team over the Turkish national team but the Italian national soccer team has just been eliminated by North Macedonia, which will now be Portugal's rival for the ticket to Qatar 2022.

Therefore, Qatar 2022 will not have the Italian national soccer team, which also missed the Russia 2018 World Cup.

Thus, the Portuguese national team will no longer have to face Italy, which was expected, and will now have to fight against North Macedonia, which is not a national team considered as strong. 

However, they could surprise now that they have just eliminated Italy, which has world-class players such as Marco Verratti and Lorenzo Insigne.

The goals with which Portugal defeated Turkey

The Portuguese national team fielded Cristiano Ronaldo for this match, but it was not he who made the difference in the match, but his teammates.

The Portuguese avalanche started very early in the match, as in the 15th minute, Otávio shot right-footed from point-blank range from the right side of the goal.

Turkish goalkeeper Ugurkan Caquir could do nothing to prevent the Portuguese from making it 1-0. But this goal would encourage the Portuguese to keep trying, as in the 42nd minute, Otávio sent a precise assist to Diogo Jota. 

This player connected with a powerful header from the center of the area, which fell near the left post and went into the goal, to make the score 2-0 in this reclassification duel. 

The Turks were not going to sit back and watch this result and decided to go on the attack, and in the 65th minute, a deep pass from Cengiz Ünder fell into the center of the box, where Burak Yilmaz was located.

Yilmaz struck a powerful left-footed shot that went just inside the left post, low and impossible for Diogo Meireles Costa to stop, making the score 2-1.

However, things would be decided after regular playing time, as in minute 90+4, Matheus Nunes received an assist from Rafael Leão after a deep pass following a counterattack.

Nunes connected with a shot from the center of the box and the ball hit the back of the net after the shot went near the right post of the Turkish squad. 

With this goal, the match was settled 3-1, putting Portugal in the next knockout stage, in which it will face North Macedonia, for the re-qualification ticket to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
