30 minutes: It will be good to continue, now it is Bardhi’s turn to go on the ground. Jota closed it as the player of Northern Macedonia cleared the ball from above. And he will be fine. Half an hour has passed and the guests will be thrilled with how he left! 1648581244 28 minutes: Mendes is away for Portugal after a heavy challenge. He did not get the foul. Konstantinov entered flying, with both feet off the ground and certainly caught the left back. Maybe he got almost enough ball to save him from further punishment. 1648581102 26 minutes: Clever defender from Mousliou, slipped to stop Fernandes to cut the ball back. It was played and reached the byline, however the challenge came. Silva will take the corner. In short, nothing comes out, a real waste. 1648580974 24 minutes: Much better than Portugal as Otavio passes to Jota and the Liverpool player wins a corner for his team. Fernandes runs to get it. Or she will tell Mousli once to leave Ronaldo. Awesome ball, Jota wins the header … OVER THE crossbar. Really good opportunity, he landed on the ground and bounced. 1648580843 22 minutes: Cancello made Ronaldo do well, but chose to hit the ball early. Too many, Fernandes tries to keep the ball inside but can not and is out. The hosts have not gone at all, except for this one opportunity of Ronaldo. 1648580737 20 minutes: Great move from Northern Macedonia, Alioski volley out. Trajkovsky did well to keep the ball inside and then left it on the back post where the left back was waiting. An ambitious effort, he caught it well but did not get the direction. 1648580584 17 minutes: Bardhi really should have done better. It floats in the box and Costa is out of line to claim easily. He jumped fast forward, Jota fouls his man though. Frustration is growing among the home team and the fans. 1648580505 16 minutes: Corner North Macedonia. Going to the nearby post, Ademi hits it … this will be another angle. Bardhi to take it again, is not a good tradition at all and Portugal can clean up. Not for long though – Cancello takes down Konstantinov and the visitors have a foul in a great position. 1648580399 14 minutes: GREAT OPPORTUNITY! Portugal’s best moment in the match and they must be really tied. Northern Macedonia completed the opening. Jota passes the ball to Ronaldo, he is next and only the goalkeeper has to win. He drags it wide from the far beam … he almost finds this corner. 1648580340 13 minutes: Yota with a great pass out to Cancello and he passes Alioski. A cross rises to the back post, too high for Ronaldo. Fernandes is there … can he put his head in front of the goal? No. Senc is straight over the crossbar and out for a goal.
