Pedro Neto says Portugal are heading into the 2026 FIFA World Cup with real belief, following their 2-1 international friendly victory over Nigeria's Super Eagles in Leiria on Wednesday night.

Roberto Martinez's side delivered a composed performance at the Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa, with Neto himself breaking the deadlock in the 23rd minute — a finish that ended a four-month goal drought for club and country.

The Super Eagles refused to lie down, and Sevilla striker Akor Adams pulled Nigeria level before the break to make it 1-1 at half-time.

Portugal restored their lead when substitute Francisco Conceição struck with 15 minutes remaining, securing a victory that Martinez's men could feel good about.
