Portugal let many young players start after winning early tickets to the last round. Goalkeeper Jose Sa and defender Toti Gomes made their team debuts. Ruben Neves was moved to central defense. However, stars dominate the group above. The midfielders are Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and Joao Cancelo, while the forwards are Ronaldo, Joao Felix, Diogo Jota, and Goncalo Ramos

Portugal started slowly due to lack of motivation, tactical adjustments, and player changes. Players lacked cohesiveness and commitment to beаt Liechtenstein. Portugal’s attacks were mostly individual attempts, but they lacked intensity to score.

Late in the first half, Portugal created the first major chance. Ronaldo’s scissor volley menaced Liechtenstein’s goal and Һit Bruchel’s foot.

The away team returned with a new vigor after the interval. Ronaldo Һit a post in 46th minute. One minute later, he took the ball from Jota, entered the penalty area, and shot into Bruchel’s net with his left foot. Ronaldo set an international record with 128 goals for Portugal.

The second goal came quickly for Portugal. After Bruchel failed to block in the 57th minute, Cancelo dribbled by and scored to seal a 2-0 win.

After three points, Portugal replaced Bernardo Silva, Ronaldo, and Bruno Fernandes. Salanovic overtook Ruben Neves midway through the second half but couldn’t beаt Jose Sa, wasting the chance to close the margin for Liechtenstein. Late in the contest, Goncalo Ramos put the ball into the home team’s net, but it was offside.

Portugal’s eighth win in nine Euro 2024 qualifiers. They will win a major event qualifying round for the first time if they beаt Iceland on November 19. Portugal has 34 goals. They may smаsh the 2006 World Cup qualifying record with two more goals against Iceland.

Portugal tops Group J with 27 points. Slovakia finished second with 19 points and advanced to the finals. Luxembourg and Bosnia quickly qualified for the play-offs, but Iceland had to wait for the last round results. From Nations League results and qualifying group positions, UEFA determines play-off berths. Liechtenstein finished last in Group J with 0 points, 1 goal, and 27 defeats.
