Bruno Fernandes scored both goals as Portugal beat North Macedonia 2-0 in their play-off final at the Estádio do Dragao.
Our no.18’s opener came following a superb link-up with Reds team-mate and Portuguese captain Cristiano Ronaldo in the first half, before he found the target again after the break with a sublime finish.
Ronaldo played the 90 minutes, skippering his nation what could be his fifth edition of the prestigious competition, while Diogo Dalot was an unused substitute.
Elsewhere, United midfielder Hannibal helped Tunisia to see out a 1-0 aggregate win over Mali to advance from the African section of the qualifiers.
