BOLA – Portugal beats Belgium and is in the 2023 World Cup play-off final (Women’s Football)
A goal by Fátima Pinto qualified Portugal for the final round of a play-off to access the World Cup among the best runners-up in the European zone. Iceland remains in this one and the game takes place in Paços de Caminha Ferreira.
In a final stretch, the breath, loaded with a lot of suspense, the Portuguese team multiplied its cut of no time with the decision in extra time and the possibility of losing a moment on penalties and rushing a final cut of the Portuguese team to lose everything in the finals, starting from a final cut of the fatal selection Tysiak, who had entered minutes before. In an ostensible takedown to Diana Silva at the edge of the area, the Belgian seemed to give Portugal the opportunity to resolve the penalty mark encounter. The decision went through VAR, converted into a free kick at the entrance of the area and sending off the defender. Carole Costa hit the post with Evrard still defending, earning the glory corner, with Fátima Pinto heading to the far post to make it 2-1. Lusitanian soul and passion for a meeting and a clear compensation for those who wanted the game to be closed much more.
The earlier advantage achieved by Diana Silva gave expression to an attacker but a break in concentration motivated Belgium, who would be rewarded by a penalty that resulted from a hand from Marchão. Unhappiness for the side that crossed with weight and measure for 1-0. The break.
Francisco Neto liked the attitude of his players in the 2nd half and the encouragement in the search for victory came with the entry of Andreia Jacinto. Before the electrifying final, there were already missed chances in the shots of Fátima Pinto and Jéssica Silva. 2-1 surrendered not like joy of joy in V ever wanted victory already. The athletes extolled their satisfaction at the end and enjoyed a lot of fraternization with the public. Now we need to beat Iceland for an unprecedented place in the World Cup
