"There are no easy games, we need to evaluate, see that we are in a good situation, and there is a lesson that can help a lot for the future, even if now it is painful and a shame, because we wanted to qualify in front of our fans. "It's a very important lesson, to be able to manage games like this much better.""
""It is important to understand that we have a lot of competitiveness in the dressing room, that it is important to always be ready. "In November, we have two very important games, you create the opportunity for possible qualification. "It's better to have competitive games in Ireland and against Armenia to continue to do what we want, to give the level we gave in the Nations League.""
Portugal drew 2-2 with Hungary at Estadio Jose Alvalade after conceding a stoppage-time equaliser, preventing immediate World Cup qualification. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a first-half brace to cancel Attila Szalai's early opener and became the all-time leading scorer in World Cup qualifiers with 41 goals, surpassing Carlos Ruiz. The hosts hit the woodwork twice in the second half before Dominik Szoboszlai scored in injury time to secure the draw. Portugal top Group F on 10 points, five clear of Hungary, and need three points from upcoming matches against the Republic of Ireland and Armenia. The result highlights the need to manage games better and remain ready.
