The first semi-final of the League of Nations played this Wednesday evening between Germany and Portugal in Munich delivered its verdict. Despite the support of their audience and an advantage in the score for a time taken, the Mannschaft underwent the law of the Selecçao. Logically in view of the domination of the Lusitanians in the second period.
After a first act without much relief but rather to put the premises to credit, Wirtz, in the surface fox, allowed his family to open the scoring upon the return of the locker room, on a bit confused action (1-0, 48e). But everything changed shortly before the hour of play in favor of Portugal, with the entrance combined in particular by Vitinha and Conceiçao in the 58e
minute.
These two indeed have changed everything, bringing to the selecçao the balance and the impact that it lacked in the debates until then. The second has quickly equalized with a marvel of rolled up left (1-1, 63e). Then the stainless Ronaldo, already appeared to his advantage earlier in the match, struck in stride on a assist of Mendes (1-2, 68e).
137e International realization for Ronaldo
Author there of his fifth offering in nine matches in selection this season, the left side of PSG thus contributed to the 137e International goal of the absolute Lusitanian star. A 937e Creation in career, at 40, for a CR7 which will try on Sunday to offer Portugal its second Nations League, after the triumph of 2019.
To do this, the Ronaldo and others will have to beat the survivor of the second semi-final scheduled for Thursday evening in Stuttgart between the French team and the reigning European champion. A beautiful final in perspective. And a no less interesting little final in that it will be necessary to play for the losers against the Germans.
