Portugal will see the quarter-finals of the Nations League. Hooked by Poland during the first period, the Seleçao raised the tone in the second act, with four goals scored and a big success (5-1), this Friday evening in Porto. The Portuguese thus secure their place for the rest of the competition.
Roberto Martinez’s men, however, started the game with difficulty. Embarrassed by a serious and diligent Polish team, but without Robert Lewandowski, the Lusitanians did not manage to endanger their opponent and returned to the locker room frustrated, even annoyed, like Cristiano Ronaldo. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner received a yellow card just before the break for too vehement a protest with the referee.
A 909e and 910e goals for Ronaldo
But in the second half, the 2016 European champions showed a completely different face. Ultra-dominant, the Portuguese logically opened the scoring through Rafael Leao (59e), at the reception of a Nuno Mendes center. Then, the Cristiano Ronaldo show was able to begin against totally overwhelmed Poles.
The Al-Nassr striker first converted a penalty (72e), before delivering a decisive pass for Petro Neto (83e) and treat yourself to a double with a scissors on a service from Vitinha (87e). The Parisian, who came on in the second half, had before that offered an offering to Bruno Fernandes, who joined the party with a superb goal (80e). Dominik Marczuk saved the honor of his family (88th).
Before returning to Croatia, Cristiano Ronaldo therefore registered his 134e and 135e goal in selection and its 909e and 910e in career. Eternal CR7.
