Portugal punched their ticket to FIFA World Cup 26 with a comprehensive 9- victory over Armenia in Porto, despite the absence of captain Cristiano Ronaldo who was forced to sit out the clash through suspension after his red card in the recent defeat by Ireland.

Bruno Fernandes and Joao Neves each scored hat-tricks to propel Portugal past Armenia and to World Cup qualification.
