Manchester United duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes have combined once again to put Portugal 1-0 ahead in their World Cup playoff final.
A loose pass from North Macedonia, who shocked Euro 2020 champions Italy to get this far, allowed Fernandes to latch onto the ball and start a swift counter-attack.
He then popped a pass towards Ronaldo, who then laid it back into the midfielder’s path with a cheeky nutmeg for Fernandes to finish well into the bottom corner.
There is still a second half to play and North Macedonia are prone to causing an upset.
