HIGHLIGHTS | Portugal 2-1 Ireland - 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifier

said Mcinteer's goal by doing something remarkable here in Portugal Portugal from left to right in the first half. It's quite rare that they are actually playing here in Faro. It's their first game here since 2019 and the Portuguese, so one of these short goal kicks. oh bazunu oh and Ireland are almost in trouble is that a penalty is the referee yes, they gave a penalty Ireland well, they only have themselves to blame Bruno Fernández bringing down the ball should have been clarified as a routine that they have obviously worked on, but He needs more work and the penalty has been given and this is Ronaldo's moment.

He already has the ball under his left arm ready to take the penalty and try to break the

world

record. It's not necessary, it's not necessary, what we talked about before the game. they can't do nonsense, they established themselves in the game we only got to the 10 minute mark, everything seemed fine, sure shot, but what happened there, Claire's is down, this is the incident once again, Jeff Hendrick has been booked for it , I'm not the best rep for Mira, you get the ball first anyway, well, I think Ronaldo should just hit, they're checking the penalty, if I'm checking if it's a penalty or not, and what happened to Ronaldo here , I'm sure it was O'Shea. he kicked the ball from the spot, okay and Ronaldo launched an album of punches.

Or Coleman ate the pawn shop, so the ref had to settle things. VAR, they told us, are still watching, they are reviewing the penalty that we have not seen. how one of the irish players ended up on the ground here okay oh kick look there was contact with his shoulder by ronaldo so the referee will go and take a look whether or not this was a penalty on that first one . replay Ronaldo Slovenian referee this is like the Eurovision foreign vote the whistle he likes the drama so it's a penalty he has decided it's a penalty now they'll take a look Ronaldo's hit doesn't seem like it Gavin bazuno okay he was involved in the mess which led to the penalty, but can he stop Cristiano Ronaldo from breaking the

world

record?

The 19-year-old made his name at Shamrock Rovers on his debut at 16. Ronaldo broke through on his debut in Madrid at Shamrock Rovers, but the referee only reminded him of the rules from the penalty spot. . Any other player you would say: Oh, this delay could put him off. It doesn't necessarily apply to him, so let's look at the 15th minute in Faro. Portugal concedes the penalty. Intervention of vars. Ronaldo against Bazuno. Would he be saved from Gavin Mizuno? He is a star. He already denied Ronaldo from the penalty. He denied her the world record. We have to say for now what a rescue is.

He comes to us so quickly. He knocks him down. Compensate for the error. There is more shenanigans with the referee. I don't know what this referee is doing right now. Take it again. Are they saying? But there are more encouraging signs for Ireland, but they have to continue defending impeccably and brilliantly. They cannot afford total concentration. Any mistake they got away with with the penalty will be saved by Bizzunu, absolutely incredible. It was a Jotter header but he recovered it. The danger is still not clear ahead at the far post. Look at what a disaster Jonathan has to cross again.

The goalkeeper and the full they could still work and it works for Ireland they got away with it there's Doherty Josh Cullen behind now it's all about the center and Connolly's shot was for himself there were two on his right tree he couldn't actually lift it over the goalkeeper, came out for the corner, it was a great chance, great play again, great ball going over the top and it wasn't a great chance and you won't get them very often, what a ball off of him. Cullen Connolly's right foot, he let the ball get away from him too much, so Jamie McGrath with the corner went to half-time and it's John Egan, what a goal and he celebrates it in front of the handful of Irish fans who are here in Faro like the field remains silent before the advantage of the Republic of Ireland there will be five added minutes what is there for Stephen Kenny's Ireland what ball inside and how forward the vegan steals the march of the Portuguese defenders Pepe do not go with him but what forward when he gets there, he cuts back, crosses everyone, the clicks are in the far corner, what a brilliant header, what a turnover for the books, this is a brilliant header.

Rue Patricia is nowhere near the ninth goal of Stephen Kenny's reign as Republic of Ireland manager and a truly special goal. one of John Egan today was named FBI Senior International Player of the Year and there's a look at why he won that award Ronaldo cutter figure frustrated right now Stephen Kenny is showing very little emotion wow he kept it there there's that post again that post has been your friend in the first half everything is happening now in this game jota with the shot the zunu just runs away, doesn't it? John hits him, goes through his legs, catches it just before hitting the post, it's going to take a while.

Nick beats Duffy on the way it doesn't matter anyway the other one doesn't go out to the corner he's still at it Ronaldo Bernardo Silva is taking a position you'll see him outside the penalty area Ronaldo I wonder yes he'll have a pass blocked by Josh Collett brilliant also reacted Ronaldo kicked his leg towards the Irish player Conley and Ada working together Pepe chasing him but Alameda keeps him in play two waiting in the center is the crossed gaze towards where John Egan is and Come see, although again there was a big challenge there, that's what John Negan does on the box.

Well, why am I not sure if he came from behind? Yes, did they push him? They broke into it now, looking at it, there is a possible penalty. in this from behind, yes, now Connolly has moved on, so we are checking for a possible penalty, a foul here for that, he stands in front of him again, a cross from Ronaldo, oh, it has come true, it exists the possibility, oh, what Miss Bernardo Silva, that was the moment. He will get more, there could be a few more, but what an opportunity this was from Bernardo Silva. They got behind.

There are four Irish players on their knees. Dorothy for the first time in the game makes a silly mistake. What a Miss. What a Miss. That is what. a break because the bodies were everywhere again, they filled the penalty area and Colin keeps them out again Bernardo Silva cuedes and McLean there a nice little cross just did it and it has broken the hearts of the Irish and Faro feels that It's not over yet, but there is Cristiano Ronaldo's world record, it only takes one second to score a goal Ireland and even in all those seconds, but now it's 1-1 and pharaoh and you don't need to remember who just scored with a minute to go Stephen Kenny is going completely crazy in the division, he was trying to get two substitutes and they didn't get them and this is all because of this, they needed men, he is not the best, a defender of James McPlay, where does the good ball, but Ronaldo?

He gets there, but they were trying to make substitutions and the national football official breaking Ali's record dies, but now here's McLean. Is there a twist in this story? However, McLean's partner for Ireland, Patricio, made a really good save which was a McLean strike. It's a bad touch, he takes the silver but we continue playing in Faro Zhao Mario and Jeff Hendrick there they can't take him out of the game Silverdale Ronaldo again is incredible, but 30 seconds 25 seconds into the five minutes the referee let the attack continue And that It's heartbreak for Ireland in Faro after one of the best performances I've ever seen from this young team.

A burst of gold for them now, as they did against Luxembourg and against Hungary in the European Champions League, but Ireland are absolutely heartbroken here. Faro Ronaldo and the most relieved man in the house are not fair and yes, they attacked for most of the game. Portugal The Irish players have given their all and started to come away with at least a point, but that man, Ronaldo, once again, is another great header. of him too to get so deep into the Island game and eliminate them with one point. I think the referee has the Cardinals yellow and I was wondering if he should be cautioned because it hasn't been a great night for the Slovenian referee.

Ronaldo. he'll miss the next game but he won't care at all that tonight this is the goal again using an offside position there he gets back on the side he just gets in front of Sheamus Coleman gets the power on the header it's just He's not that what has made him the player he is, but from an Irish perspective, here at the same time, after a heroic performance, Gooding we finally have the full-time whistle, there are several Irish players there with their heads in . his hands because they couldn't give more tonight Stephen Kenny well, his team is his best performance, there is no doubt about it in his 14 games in charge, but the Portuguese manager will focus a lot on that man Ronaldo because of what This night went on for so long it seemed like it was going to be a frustrating night for him because Ireland with their craft and their God, their guile, their discipline, their concentration had frustrated them all and deserved something from this game.
