00:00A night when top spot and progress from Group F of European qualifiers for the
00:162026 FIFA World Cup can be confirmed. Our coverage is from Lisbon where a hopeful
00:23Portugal host Hungary. A night in front of the home support that could see Portugal added to the
00:30list of qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As for Hungary, will they retain high hopes of joining
00:37their hosts at the World Cup next year? A win over Armenia just their second of the year
00:43strengthened that claim. If they can beat Portugal for the very first time tonight well
00:48suddenly uncertainty returns to Group F. Portugal potentially just 90 minutes away from booking
00:59their place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Victory tonight pretty much guarantees it, it will guarantee it
01:10if Armenia don't beat the Republic of Ireland. Dias eventually deciding who was taking
01:19responsibility. Look at the space here recorded to Bernardo Silva who can launch the game's first
01:24attack. Bernardo Silva for Portugal allowed to carry the ball a long way. Here's Ronaldo.
01:30Jaloy across to put the ball out of play.
01:32A sore one for Ronaldo, an apology from his opponent.
01:43Takes a hefty blow with those abs to cause any damage.
01:48Pedro Neto who's gone for a return pass instead. Bruno Fernandes, Ronaldo!
01:58First sight of the whites of the posts tonight for Cristiano Ronaldo.
02:02He's got this nicely. Hungry and there's an effort at goal from Roland Jaloy that Diogo Costa
02:14gets down really well to save.
02:20In from Xoboslai. It's an awkward one that's resulted in a goal for Atillo Jaloy and Hungry
02:28who against the odds lead and lead early in Portugal. The traveling support can celebrate the first goal that
02:35Hungary have ever scored in a qualifying match on Portuguese soil. And Atillo Jaloy has his first ever
02:44competitive goal for a competitive goal for his country.
02:50Here's Ronaldo.
02:53For the expansive and Balazs top right behind the shot.
02:57Oh, Patinia. Nelson Semedo with a pocket of space. Ronaldo!
03:09To make it 1-1. An instinctive run that made for a straightforward finish. Parity restored.
03:21And Portugal can once again start thinking about the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
03:28And it is a man with ambitions of playing. It is sixth World Cup who has got them level.
03:33Well, it was Nelson Semedo as an extra man inside the penalty area for Portugal there.
03:41That made it all possible.
03:46And he squared it beautifully for Ronaldo.
03:50Who arrived with precision to make it seven goals in his last seven appearances for Portugal.
03:57His eighth in all against Hungary now. He's only ever scored more against Luxembourg.
04:04Cross is a good one.
04:06Caught sweetly enough by Roland Chaloy.
04:13This is the chance for Roland Chaloy.
04:17Straight forward save for Diogo Costa.
04:21Nuno Mendes with the corner. Ronaldo.
04:22Ronaldo which flies wildly off target. Certainly a long way away from what he was aiming to achieve.
04:30One goal already tonight. That reaction tells you in the week that he was revealed to be the first
04:36billion dollar footballer. With his goals that he remains the most interested in.
04:41Pedro Neto. Nuno Mendes. Ronaldo again.
04:52Incredible. The goals just keep coming for Cristiano Ronaldo.
04:57Delivers once again when required to drag his nation from a deficit into the lead just before half-time.
05:17It's all in the timing and Cristiano Ronaldo still has it.
05:21Ronaldo.
05:28Nelson Semedo.
05:32Ronaldo Fernandez.
05:34Not dealt with what it should have been and
05:38Totts had to come up with a save to prevent Pedro Neto making it 3-1.
05:42Well, the ball should have been swept away by Willy Orban. It wasn't.
05:47Defender grateful to his goalkeeper for coming up with a sharp save.
05:53Varga colliding with Ruben Diaz.
05:56Here's Attila Chaloy.
05:59For Dominic Szoboszlai.
06:02He was onside. A chance. Headed straight at Diogo Costa.
06:07Nelson Semedo.
06:12Bernardo Silva.
06:13Cristiano Ronaldo.
06:19To kill what would have been the hat-trick goal into the top corner.
06:26Ruben Nervis.
06:27Ruben Diaz.
06:34Incredible effort that very nearly produced a goal.
06:41Pedro Neto.
06:43Nuno Mendes.
06:44Bruno Fernandes opens up.
06:49So close again.
06:51Portugal to scoring a third.
06:56Fernandes.
06:56The latest to try his luck.
06:59A bit of glove perhaps from Balazs tot.
07:01And then on to the post.
07:03Twice in quick succession.
07:06Portugal hit that up right.
07:08Ruben Diaz with the previous effort that the goalkeeper
07:10didn't stand a chance of getting anywhere near it.
07:14He'd given up on it.
07:18Ronaldo.
07:20Conceição.
07:21Immediately into the action.
07:23And a good cross as well.
07:24Balazs tot.
07:25Big save.
07:27Did a nice well Felix.
07:33But for Balazs tot in the hungry goal it would be game over already.
07:38Two really strong hands.
07:40Now the ambitious from Shalloy.
07:42Has he got it right?
07:45Too far away.
07:46So he thinks.
07:48This will tell us.
07:49Pedro Costa wasn't a long way out of position.
07:51And the effort wasn't a long way wide.
07:55Milos Kerkhez.
07:57Cannoned into Conceição.
08:00Behind for a corner.
08:03His third corner of the game.
08:05They scored from the first and very nearly did from the second.
08:07What does the third produce?
08:08In from Xobajlai.
08:11Just as an appeal for handball.
08:15Although not a sustained one.
08:20Advantage is being played here for Portugal.
08:23An advantage that in the end they don't get to take.
08:27Because the three kick decision eventually seen in the other direction.
08:38For Kerkhez.
08:39Great cross.
08:41Chance for an equalizer off the underside of the bar.
08:45And away.
08:47How close was that?
08:49His first effort was the one that came off the underside of the bar.
08:57Attila Shalloy.
08:59And he very nearly got to the ball again and would have done.
09:02But for the exceptional reactions of Ruben Diaz.
09:06To prevent what would have been a certain equalizer.
09:10Unlucky not to score for a second time this evening.
09:13Shalloy and would have done.
09:15But for Ruben Diaz.
09:18Stepping across when necessary.
09:20Conce Sao.
09:24He's going to get the chance to cut inside and shoot.
09:26And once he just had to check back.
09:29A much more difficult opportunity.
09:31Well Hungary will be pleased to see the back of him.
09:42His eighth and ninth international goals against him.
09:46Have Portugal on the brink.
09:50Of sending him to a sixth FIFA World Cup.
09:53There is to be no hat trick for him this evening.
09:56His two well taken goals.
10:01Set up by full backs.
10:02First Nelson Semedo.
10:04Then Nuno Mendes.
10:09Oh Bernard have been entertained tonight.
10:10And they might yet be again here.
10:12As Conce Sao is very nearly able to get there ahead of top.
10:18Bernardo Silva.
10:20Seemingly impossible pass to play in behind.
10:23But Conce Sao got there.
10:26Balazs tot had to react.
10:34This from Lukacs.
10:35And here's a chance for an equaliser.
10:37Jobojlai.
10:42That's changed things.
10:47Hungary simply refusing to be beaten tonight.
10:50And in stoppage time.
10:52A goal from Dominic Jobojlai.
10:55That puts Portugal's progress to the 2026 World Cup on ice.
11:00Well they scored the first goal of the night.
11:04Have they scored the final goal of the night?
11:07Dominic Jobojlai's 17th international goal.
11:11He's first at this World Cup qualifying campaign to deny Ronaldo and Portugal now so it seems until next month.
11:20Not to be tonight for Portugal so close.
11:29But they can't yet rubber stamp their progress to the FIFA 2026 World Cup despite two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo that dragged them from behind to in front.
11:41But in the 91st minute as we ticked into stoppage time Hungary grab themselves an equaliser through Dominic Jobojlai that strengthens their claim on second in Group F and although Portugal have an outstanding lead at the top of the group their perfect record no longer remains intact.
12:02Full time in Lisbon, Portugal 2, Hungary 2.
12:17On 10?
12:19Good night.
12:19Where are we?
12:20We need to get to pull the opening test.
12:22But is our support, so we can go breve, in order.
12:24For those of our students, Bernice Jobojlai back at the top of the practice.
12:26Where are we coming from?
12:26The property is coming flat.
12:27When the title is out of being impeccable, we can be able to become redeveloped in the top of each other below.
12:28And they cannot release the same loss of interlchsel contract.
