2026 World Cup Qualifying – UEFA Group Stage F

Portugal triumphed over the Republic of Ireland in a World Cup Qualifier held at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon on Saturday, October 11, 2025. The win secured by a late goal from Rúben Neves after Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty was saved by goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher.

Neves scored with a header in the first minute of stoppage time, clinching a 1-0 victory. Unfortunately for Ireland, this defeat leaves them in a precarious position.  Ireland only earned a single point from their first three Group F matches. In short, Ireland must secure a win against the Armenians in Dublin on Tuesday evening.  Though key midfielder Josh Cullen being suspended, if they wish to keep their hopes of a play-off spot alive.

Heimir Hallgrimsson’s squad appeared poised to leave Lisbon’s Jose Alvalade Stadium with a hard-fought point but ultimately departed empty-handed. However, they did manage to restore some pride with a determined performance that helped to erase the memories of last month’s loss in Armenia.
