The Portugal head coach, Fernando Santos, abstained after the victory of his national team over Turkey and the placement in the finals of the World Cup playoffs.
The Portuguese celebrated with 3:1, and in the final, they will unexpectedly play against Northern Macedonia, which defeated Italy (1:0).
“All these matches are finals, that’s what I said from the first moment. We won the first final, now we have another. And we will focus on that from this moment. It will be a difficult match with Macedonia, I have no doubt about that. “It can’t be otherwise against the team that eliminated Italy,” Fernando Santos said after the game.
Portugal and Northern Macedonia will meet on Monday in Porto, and the winner will secure a place in Qatar.
