Poland and Portugal qualify for World Cup 2022

The European qualification for the World Cup 2022 entered the final stage. Two play-off finals were played on Tuesday. Poland played Sweden, while Portugal played North Macedonia. There is still one more play-off to be played. Scotland versus Ukraine is postponed due to the war in Ukraine. The winner of this match will play Wales in the play-off final for the final European ticket. In this article we talk about the two latest teams to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.

Portugal

Portugal got a little present during the weekend. When they beat Turkey in the semi-final, they expected reigning European champions Italy to beat North Macedonia. When North Macedonia scored the only goal late in the game, Estádio do Dragão celebrated it like a goal of their own. They rather faced North Macedonia than Italy. The final in Porto against North Macedonia showed the Portuguese fans were right. Bruno Fernandes opened the score halfway the first half and doubled the lead halfway the second half. With an easy 2-0 victory Portugal goes to the World Cup! Do you want to support them in Qatar? Book your World Cup 2022 tickets securely online!

Poland

The second play-off final was much more tight. Poland and Sweden were much closer together in terms of qualify. Two teams where their striker is the big man. Robert Lewandowski for Poland and Zlatan Ibrahimovic for Sweden. After a goalless first half, it was Poland’s main man who opened the score from the penalty spot in the 50th minute. When Sweden tried to push forward more and more, Zielinksi doubled the lead for Poland. This is their second consecutive appearance on the World Cup. A great achievement for the country and another opportunity for Lewandowski to show the World how good he is.
