Four days after the election in Larne, Francisco Neto's group will be reunited with the British from 19:15 at the Portimão Municipal Stadium in a game arbitrated by Italian Silvia Gasperotti.
Telma Incarnação, de penalti, Jéssica Silva, Rebecca Holloway, at its own goal, and Fátima Pinto scored the goals of Portugal at the start of the elimination, which will precede another play-off of access to the World Cup2027.
In the next phase, also played in two hands and scheduled for November 26th and December 5th, the Portuguese may face Croatia or Iceland, which again measure forces today, after the triumph outside the Nordics (4-0).
