Cristiano Ronaldo & Co. had three good chances, but North Macedonia are still very much in this and it's telling that Portugal needed an error to get the breakthrough. Diogo Jota is up for this, and Ronaldo is increasingly involved. It's a mirror of what's happened in the first half. A talented side, which showed off its world-class quality against North Macedonia, Portugal also has the gamebreakers and steely attitude to stand up to the biggest teams on the planet. 74th min.: Yellow card to Alioski, who takes down Otavio near the penalty area and gets booked for stopping a promising attack. 65th min.: And just like that Portugal get their second! 0 0 0 The second one on a sublime half-volley into the top corner allowed the local fans to let loose and celebrate. 64th min.: It's been a quiet start to this second half. The first one, which saw him capitalize on a poor North Macedonian backpass, set Portugal's nerves at ease.

North Macedonia go on the attack but Pepe tackles Bardhi on the edge of the area and Portugal counter. North Macedonia will be kicking themselves for the manner in which they conceded but, on balance, Portugal have been the better side. Having witnessed the scenes of emotional devastation that followed Italy's defeat, Portugal know they have little room for complacency this evening. "For us, it's also a game of our lives. Ronaldo drifts across the box and latches onto a long ball up from the back, but is tackled. It was a fine goal, deadly and decisive, and the same could be said for the second. For a side ranked 67th in the world to defeat Italy, away from home, was by any measure one of the great shocks of international football. The victory also served a secondary purpose, which will be welcomed by all involved with United: it showed that Ronaldo and Fernandes can indeed thrive together, in the right setting. With considerable thanks to Fernandes, a 10th major tournament now awaits for Ronaldo, statistically the finest goalscorer in the history of international football. By that measure at least, Ronaldo lives on as a Portugal player. Fernandes struck twice, both of them Ronaldo-esque goals, to secure a deserved win for the better side on the night. Cristiano Ronaldo did not need to play the role of hyped-up promoter in order to explain the importance of this match for him and his country, but it seems he could not help himself.

MATT BARLOW IN PORTO: Cristiano Ronaldo and his gifted supporting cast decreed enough was enough and North Macedonia's unlikely flirtation with the World ...

The worst part is that the hosts aren't in any need to force it. Portugal had better performances but this will stay in the memory because we made it to the World Cup.' Fail to do both of those things and this won't be a fairytale turnaround. Macedonia coach Blagoja 'Bobi' Milevski feared that Alioski's departure from Elland Road to Saudi side Al-Ahli last summer might make him short of competitive intensity - and indeed he had looked slightly rusty this year. He does not always sparkle for club or country in the presence of Ronaldo, and yet this was a precious contribution. A let for North Macedonia. He knows that's a chance he should be scoring. Portugal, for decades a nation with only fleeting footballing success, have not failed to reach a major tournament in the Ronaldo era. I feel very privileged to be part of this group.' There were golden balloons filled with helium, bobbing around as though at a children's birthday party, spelling out CR7, and Ronaldo's mother Dolores was in the house. The atmosphere was spectacular. The fans were impeccable.
