World Cup play-off finals: Portugal and Poland qualify for Qatar

1. Two World Cup play-off finals completed on Tuesday
2. Result: Portugal 2-0 North Macedonia - Fernandes scores twice to send Portugal to World Cup
3. Result: Poland 2-0 Sweden - Lewandowski & Zielinski send Poland through

If there's going to be another goal it will be Portugal although a few of them get in each other's way to stop their own attack.

Seven minutes to go. If North Macedonia manage to come back here it will be Italy multiplied by Germany.

Robin Olsen keeps Sweden in it. Just.

The keeper sticks out his hands to push away a powerful Robert Lewandowski header from a corner.

North Macedonia haven't had a single shot on target. This looks like it might be their moment but just as Eljif Elmas is going to shoot he's denied by a Pepe tackle.

GOAL - Poland 2-0 Sweden

Massive goal!

Sweden blink, with Marcus Danielson's fatal miscontrol allowing Piotr Zielinski to race clear and finish.

The stadium erupts.

Poland have one and a half feet in the finals.

Twenty minutes to go. Robert Lewandowski's goal is the difference. You can sense the tension around the stadium.

SUBSTITUTION

Portugal bring on Rafael Leao and William Carvalho for Otavio and Diogo Jota.

Stefan Askovski replaces Tihomir Kostadinov for North Macedonia.

Diogo Jota's inswinging cross goes out for a goal-kick.

YELLOW CARD

Macedonian Ezgjan Alioski could have had three bookings in the last 15 minutes and finally picks up one for shoving Otavio.

Mattias Svanberg is straight into the action but his low shot from range is easily saved.

SUBSTITUTION

Two changes for Sweden. Neither are Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Anthony Elanga is on, though, replacing Robin Quaison.

Jesper Karlstrom also heads off, with Mattias Svanberg the man sent into action.

It is all hands to the pump for Poland now.

Sweden win a corner but the home side hold firm, winning a couple of headers to get the ball clear.

Jakub Moder looks to give Poland a cast-iron grip on this game but his shot from range is easily saved.

YELLOW CARD

North Macedonia sense this game might be beyond them and they start a melee which Anthony Taylor is trying to stop.

Visar Musliu and Joao Cancelo are booked.

This is going to be a long 30 minutes for Poland.

Sweden have responded well to going behind. They are putting the home defence under an awful lot of pressure.

GOAL - Portugal 2-0 North Macedonia

Bruno Fernandes is sending Portugal to the World Cup.

North Macedonia are on the attack and Pepe wins the ball on the edge of his box with Fernandes getting the move going.

Diogo Jota lifts a diagonal ball into the box and there is Fernandes to volley in from the penalty spot.

Big chance for Sweden!

Alexander Isak's cross goes across the face of goal and is met by Emil Forsberg at the back post. He has just Wojciech Szczesny to beat but fails to do so, with the Poland keeper making a fine save.

Still plenty in this.

A lovely passing move from Portugal but then Bernardo Silva slips in the box.

One thing Poland can't do is sit back now. They'd be asking to be picked off.

Sweden get in down the left but Ludwig Augustinsson's cross is poor and cut out by Kamil Glik.

SUBSTITUTION

Aleksandar Trajkovski was the hero against Italy but he won't be tonight. He's replaced by Darko Churlinov.
