Portugal vs North Macedonia: times, how to watch on TV, how to stream online

Portugal face North Macedonia in Tuesday's World Cup play-off final in Porto after beating Turkey 3-1 on Thursday.

Turkey forward Burak Yilmaz skied a penalty for over the bar with just five minutes remaining in the match. A goal would have drawn the sides level but Portugal substitute Matheus Nunes put the contest to bed in added time with their third goal.

North Macedonia stunned the football world on the same night, scoring a 92nd minute winner against Italy in Palermo to end the Azzurri's chances of a place at the 2022 World Cup. Aleksandar Trajkovski got the all-important goal with a fine strike from outside the box. Italy also failed to qualify for the World Cup four years ago, missing out for the first time since 1958.

"We need to show the same respect to North Macedonia that we would to Italy," Portugal manager Fernando Santos said.

"I told you before we could be playing them, those games are not a joke, it's like a final and anything can happen. You have to face it with the focus and concentration that it deserves. A team that goes to Italy and beats the European champions doesn't need introductions," he continued.
