0-2 in a game! The Portuguese team missed the opportunity to qualify early: Ronaldo scored 0 goals + red card, won the next round and advanced

In the early morning of November 14th, the World Cup European Qualifiers ushered in many key battles. Among them, the Portuguese team will play against the Irish team as a guest. As long as they defeat their opponents in this game, they will qualify for the group stage one round in advance. Unfortunately, the Portuguese team not only lost 0-2, but Cristiano Ronaldo was also sent off. It can be said that they lost both the game and the opponent.

After the first four rounds, the Portuguese team scored 10 points, ranking first in the group, while the Irish team had 4 points in hand, ranking third in the group. Since the Hungarian team, second in the group, defeated the Armenian team 1-0 as a guest, the Irish team has no way out. Once they lose the game, they will be eliminated early. Therefore, this campaign is definitely a life and death battle for the Irish team.

After the game started, the Irish team attacked crazily. At the critical moment, luck also favored this European powerhouse. In the 17th minute, the Irish team sent a corner kick into the penalty area, and the Portuguese team completely missed the goal. In the end, Parrott connected in front of the goal and scored with an easy header. The Irish team took an early 1-0 lead. Before half-time, Parrott made another great achievement. He scored a low shot from the near corner and scored twice personally to help the team lead 2-0.

In the second half, the Portuguese team actively counterattacked, but unfortunately their offense never came to fruition. Due to being unable to attack for a long time, the Portuguese team's mentality began to change. In the 61st minute, Ronaldo elbowed his opponent directly during an attack. After confirmation by the video referee, Ronaldo's yellow card was changed and he was eventually sent off with a red card. After playing with one less player, the Portuguese team was unable to make a comeback, and in the end they could only lose in the away game.

C Ronaldo really has to bear a lot of responsibility for the Portuguese team's loss in this campaign. As the captain on the field and the absolute core of the team's frontcourt, he not only scored 0 goals, but also failed to control his mentality. Under the entanglement of the opponent, he finally lost control completely and was sent off. In a few days, the Portuguese team will face the Armenian team at home. Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely be absent. I hope that there will be no more surprises for this European giant.

‍ As of now, in this group, the Portuguese team still ranks first, but their lead is only 2 points. Because of this defeat, the Portuguese team missed the chance to qualify one round ahead of schedule. Fortunately, they still have the initiative. Next, as long as they defeat Armenia at home, Portugal will definitely advance to next year's World Cup. If they fail to win in the next round, the fate of the Portuguese team will be determined by the result of another game.

In the final round, the Hungarian team will face the Irish team at home. This is definitely a life-or-death battle. As long as the Hungarian team remains undefeated, they can at least lock in a play-off spot. In case Portugal loses an upset, if the Hungarian team can beat the Irish team with a score of 4-0 or above, they will overtake the Portuguese team and qualify as the group leader. As for the Irish team, they can only have a chance to rank in the top two if they defeat the Hungarian team on the road, otherwise they will definitely be eliminated!
