Their last three matches saw Portugal drawing 2-2 with Spain, before taking out Armenia by 0-5, and Hungary by 2-3. Portugal won five of their last six World Cup Qualification matches at Estadio Jose Alvalade, scoring 14 and conceding four along the way. They lost once but didn't draw a single match.
