Bruno Fernandes of Portugal scores his team's seventh goal from the penalty spot. It was only Armenia’s third goal in the qualifying group having failed to score in their previous three games. However, Goncalo Ramos restored Portugal’s lead while Neves added two goals before halftime, including a superb free-kick into the top corner. A flurry of substitutions followed but Portugal’s pressure never relented and when they earned another penalty, Fernandes completed his hat-trick. Francisco Conceicao then added the icing on the cake with a long-range strike in added time as Portugal completed the rout.
