This isn't the first time major stakes have been on the line when these two teams have met.

After finishing second in their 2022 World Cup qualifying group, Portugal were forced to go through the play-offs to earn a spot in Qatar.

Standing in their way at the semi-final stage was a dogged Turkey side looking to secure their place in the finals for the first time in two decades.

Ultimately though, Portugal's experience at the highest levels would win out, with goals from Otavio, Diogo Jota, and Matheus Nunes enough to secure a 3-1 victory in Porto.
