Portugal U19 responded emphatically to their opening draw by thrashing North Macedonia U19 4-1 in a UEFA European U19 Championship qualifier on November 16, 2025. The commanding victory got Portugal's campaign firmly back on track and showcased their formidable attacking power. After perhaps a nervy start, Portugal clicked into gear, scoring goals in quick succession to build an unassailable lead. North Macedonia, coming off a narrow loss to Belgium, managed a consolation goal but were outclassed by the technical fluency and speed of the Portuguese attack. The three points and healthy goal difference boost were exactly what Portugal needed after their stumble against Estonia, re-establishing them as the team to beat in the group.
