Neto: Something Portugal didn’t want to see happened; the 2 crossbars were really unlucky

Hupu, October 15th: Pedro Neto regretted Portugal’s 2-2 draw with Hungary, which postponed the Portuguese national team’s qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

But he also emphasized the Portuguese team's response to conceding a goal after the start of the game.

"Our start was not ideal. We conceded the goal early, but our attitude was very good, we managed to turn around the situation and control the situation in the 75th minute.

Things we didn't want to see happened, but this is football, we learned from it, and now we are focused on the next stage of the game and fighting for promotion." The Chelsea winger said in an interview with SportTV.

Goals are also a key point for the Portugal international, especially in the game where Portugal hit the Hungarian crossbar twice.

"There is no doubt that we could have rewritten the score to 3-1 or 4-1; we were in a very good state. But we are focused on the next game..." he concluded.
