Portugal 2-0 North Macedonia highlights and reaction as Ronaldo and Fernandes shine in World Cup playoff

Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portugal squad are looking to book their place at this year's World Cup this evening as they face North Macedonia in their playoff final.

Ronaldo and his Manchester United team-mates Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot are in Porto again this evening, just a matter of days after seeing off Turkey in the semi-final to leave them one game away from booking their place in Qatar.

Manchester City stars Bernardo Silva and Joao Cancelo could also feature for the Seleção.

They certainly wouldn't have been expecting to come up against tonight's opponents, with North Macedonia shocking European champions Italy to book their place in the final, and they'll be looking to cause another almighty upset this evening.

Ronaldo and co will be aiming to make sure that doesn't happen, with the United superstar looking to reach his fifth World Cup this year as he looks to add the one trophy missing from his impressive collection.
