In the 72nd minute, Forbes made a point in his debut, and B shot a free shot to complete the hat trick, 7-1! In the 81st minute, another pass from Fee B created a threat, and Joao Neves' volley was also blocked. In stoppage time, Kongcesan's long shot fixed the score at 9:1! Portugal has now qualified for the World Cup for the seventh time in a row.

England 2:0 Albania
