"Portugal earned a 3-2 victory at Hungary in their UEFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, with Joao Cancelo scoring a late winner, two minutes after the hosts had equalised, to put them in control at the top of Group F with two away wins from two. The visitors came from behind to lead thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty, but almost let the three points slip when conceding late on before Cancelo's goal rescued the win to add to their 5-0 success in Armenia on Saturday."
"Hungary took the lead in the 21st minute when Barnabas Varga met Zsolt Nagy's inch-perfect cross into the box with a header which went in off the upright, before Portugal drew level 15 minutes later through Bernardo Silva's close-range effort. Portugal went in front after Varga handballed a Ronaldo flick-on in the area, and the 40-year-old buried his spot kick into the bottom corner. The goal took Ronaldo level with Guatemala's Carlos Ruiz as the joint-top scorer in World Cup qualifiers on 39."
Norway, led by Erling Haaland, routed Moldova 11-1 in the qualifier. Portugal won 3-2 away at Hungary, with Joao Cancelo scoring a first-time winner two minutes after Hungary equalised. Hungary opened through Barnabas Varga, Bernardo Silva levelled, and Cristiano Ronaldo converted a penalty to put Portugal ahead. Varga headed a late equaliser but Portugal regained the lead through Cancelo. Ronaldo's penalty took him level with Carlos Ruiz on 39 World Cup qualifying goals and extended his international tally to 141 in 223 games. Portugal lead Group F on six points; Armenia sit second on three, Hungary and Ireland have one point each.
