Thanks to a double of the Mancunian Bruno Fernandez, the Portuguese qualified for the round of 16 of the World Cup after their beautiful victory 2-0 against the Uruguayans, at the Lusail Iconic stadium.
The Portugal of Cristiano Ronaldo is the third team after France and Brazil to validate its ticket for the next round.

The two teams were neutralized until the 54 minutes of play, when Bruno Fernadez centered a ball from the left to the right for a failed header from Ronaldo that deceived the vigilance of the Celeste keeper (1-0, 54′).

In the extra time, at the 90+3 minutes of the game, the Manchester United player converted a penalty to seal the victory of the Seleçao and offer himself a double in the match.

After the second day of the group phase, Fernando Santos’ team leads the group H with 6 points and offers itself a place in the last 16 while the Celeste remains in the last place with 1 point. For the third day, Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammates will play South Korea and the South American selection will cross swords with Ghana.
