Portugal Vs Armenia Live Score, FIFA World Cup European Qualifiers: POR 9-1 ARM; Sensational Selecao Seal Direct Berth

In sharp contrast to Portugal's one-sided victory, the Hungary vs Ireland game ends in the most dramatic manner possible. Troy Parrott single-handedly snatches victory from the jaws of defeat for Ireland, and propels them to the playoffs in incredible fashion. The 23-year-old forward somehow completes his hat-trick at the fag end of the game to push Ireland from 1-2 down to 3-2 victors at full time, which means Heimir Hallgrimsson's side is still in contention for the World Cup.

Portugal manage to add a ninth goal before the final whistle to round up their masterclass tonight. Francisco Conceicao joins the party deep into stoppage time, as a Ronaldo-less Selecao coast into next year's World Cup as the undisputed Group F leaders.

The night just keeps getting better and better for Portugal. After Bruno Fernandes, it is Joao Neves' turn to notch up a hat-trick, as he scores in the 81st minute, set up by Nelson Semedo. Armenia cannot wait for the final whistle to come soon enough.

The party continues for Portugal and Bruno Fernandes. The Manchester United skipper steps up to convert his second penalty of the night to complete a well-deserved hat-trick in the 72nd minute. The scoreline turns more lopsided: 7-1 now.

In Budapest, Hungary lead Ireland 2-1 currently. Barnabas Varga netted an absolute screamer in the 37th minute to put the hosts back in the lead after Ireland had equalised. The two teams are vying for the second spot in Group F, given Portugal's imminent victory and top spot.

The teams return from the lemon break and the second half gets underway in Porto. Portugal now kicking from left to right and Armenia the other way. It would take something truly miraculous for the visitors to deny Portugal a World Cup passage from here.

As if they weren't already dominant enough, Portugal typify how much they mean business tonight by drilling in one more goal before half-time. Bruno Fernandes calmly converts a penalty at the stroke of the whistle to make the scoreline 5-1 in the hosts' favour.

Joao Neves at the double! The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder unleashes a fabulous free-kick to stretch Portugal's lead to 4-1 in the 41st minute.

Portugal retaliate, and how! Goncalo Ramos puts the hosts back in the lead with a 28th-minute left-footed strike, and Joao Neves makes the scoreline 3-1 just 90 seconds later. This is some statement from the Selecao, who will advance to next year's World Cup if they win this game.

The Group F finale night continues to deliver! Armenia find a leveller in the 18th minute via Eduard Spertsyan, who responds to Grant-Leon Ranos' cross nicely. To add to the intrigue, Hungary and Ireland are also locked 1-1 after 23-odd minutes.

Portugal go ahead in the seventh minute! Renato Veiga is the one to head the ball into the bottom right corner and the Selecao are on their way. That would settle any nerves they may have had ahead of kick-off.

The national anthems are done and dusted, and the pivotal Group F fixture gets underway in Porto. Portugal kicking from right to left and Armenia the other way in the first half.

And here is Armenia's line-up:

The two other teams in fray in Group F, Hungary and Republic of Ireland, are facing off in a concurrent fixture and both are still in the running for qualification. Hungary are second in the table with eight points, while Ireland (7 points) are right behind. If Portugal do not win tonight, the door would be open for these two teams to try and overtake the group leaders and usurp the direct World Cup berth.

Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off for elbowing Ireland defender Dara O’Shea in the second half of a shock 2-0 defeat at Ireland. He likely faces a three-week wait to discover the length of his FIFA ban ahead of the 2026 World Cup. A one-game ban is mandatory and will be served today.

The match kicks off at 7:30pm IST. The Portugal vs Armenia, FIFA World Cup 2026 European Qualifiers, Group F game will be live streamed on the Sony LIV app and website in India. It will be telecast on the Sony Sports Ten 2 SD and HD TV channels in the country.
