The women’s national team only has one and a half steps left to secure a spot at the 2023 World Cup and make history, as Portugal has never been to a World Cup.
Today, in Vizela, in the first of the two playoffs one match each, with 2,645 people in the stands, including the President of the Federation, Fernando Gomes, the team defeated Belgium (2-1). Diana Silva (28″) and Fátima Pinto (89″), both with Joana Marchão’s pass, scored the goals of the Portuguese triumph, in a match in which Tessa Wullaert (40″ penalty) scored the only Belgian goal.
O playoff The decisive match, with Iceland, is scheduled for Monday in Paços de Ferreira. If they beat Portugal and are one of the two teams with the best scores, they will be present at the World Cup next year, which will be played in Australia and New Zealand. If it’s not one of the two teams with the best score, it still plays a third playoff final, which will be intercontinental.
