Instead, Swedish veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 40 years old and who played the last ten minutes, will not be able to have his World Cup farewell in Qatar: his team lost to Poland.
At the Do Dragao stadium in Porto, Portugal secured its ticket to the World Cup with a 2-0 victory over North Macedonia, which had struck in the previous phase by eliminating Italy.
The two Portuguese goals were scored by Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammate at Manchester United (England).
For its part, Poland, who had qualified for the final stage of the playoffs due to the elimination of Russia (FIFA prohibited them from participating due to the conflict with Ukraine), sealed their passage by beating Sweden by the same result, 2-0.
Lewandowski, from a penalty, and Piotr Zielinski scored the goals for the Polish team.
In this way, only the classification of a European team remains, which will come out of the clash between Wales and the winner of the match between Ukraine and Scotland, which does not yet have a date.
The European qualifiers for the Qatari contest so far are: Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Croatia, England, Germany, Poland and Portugal.
