The first half ended in the clash between Portugal and Ireland

The first half has ended in the match between the national teams of Portugal and Ireland from Group F of the World Cup qualifying round, taking place at the “Jose Alvalade” stadium in Lisbon.

Portugal completely dominated the first half: they managed to make 13 shots, 2 of which were on target. Ireland took only one shot, and it didn’t hit the target. Portugal's advantage in ball possession was obvious — 64% to 36%. In terms of the number of passes, the Portuguese (322 passes) were also far ahead of their rivals (187 passes). Portugal took 6 corner kicks, while Ireland had none.

No goals have been scored so far in the match, and the teams are expected to reconsider their tactics during halftime.
