Spray, clean, done… That pretty much sums up Portugal’s impressive display against Turkey, with the typical visitors winning 3-0. Two goals in the first segment , an assist from Cristiano in the second and his country advances to the “16” of EURO 2024.

The   Turks  may have been convincing with their performance against   Georgia  , but in this case they faced   Portugal  . And that in itself says a lot, with  Cristiano Ronaldo ‘s team   at… another level.

They won with typical ease, 3-0, they had an excellent day from   Bernardo Silva,   while their “leader” did not score, but broke another record: he became the first in assists in the history of the   European Championships   with eight, and He led his country into the next season . But why did we arrive at this point? The score opened in the 21st minute, with   Bernardo Silva   receiving the ball superbly from the extension and sending it into the net with a beautiful shot !

Three minutes later,   Fernandes   shot wide, while in the 28th minute the   Portuguese ‘s second goal came  .   Cancelo   and   Ronaldo   didn’t communicate much and lost the sphere , but it ended up in   Akaidin  , who, without having seen where Altai is, turned towards him and accidentally sent it into the net for 2-0!

Last season ‘s remarkable first segment , a long- range shot by Kioktsu in the 41st minute, which didn’t bother the Portuguese goalkeeper  at all .

After a vertical pass behind the Turkish   defense , Cristiano Ronaldo   came out on top of the Turkish goalkeeper, with CR7 showing altruism and assisting   Bruno Fernandes who made it 3-0 with a penalty kick against the defenseless home team. (  Al Nasr’s   superstar     thus became the leading player in assists in Euro history).
