(Dan Tri) - C. Ronaldo received praise for his teamwork, assisting Bruno Fernandes to score. With a 3-0 victory over Türkiye, Portugal won a ticket to the next round of Euro 2024.
After a hard-fought victory over the Czech Republic in the first match, Portugal "changed a lot" when playing much better in the match against Türkiye in the second match. Coach Roberto Martinez decided to change the tactical formation from 3-5-2 to 4-3-3 in the match against Türkiye. Another change of Portugal is that they no longer focused on "pumping the ball" for C. Ronaldo in the match against the Czech Republic. Instead, satellites like Bernardo Silva or Bruno Fernandes have been able to promote their talents. C. Ronaldo celebrates victory with his teammates (Photo: Getty). In the 21st minute, Bernardo Silva scored for Portugal with a close-range shot. This goal affected Türkiye's spirit. The proof was in the 28th minute, they conceded a silly goal. Samet Akaydin made a pass back but goalkeeper Altay Bayindir was not in the right position. That caused the ball to drift back to the goal. In the following minutes, Portugal continued to put great pressure on Türkiye's goal but could not score. In the second half, Portugal continued to dominate the game. In the 55th minute, C. Ronaldo had a chance to escape and face the goalkeeper but instead of shooting, he passed the ball to Bruno Fernandes to score. After this goal, the European Selecao took the initiative to play down. Türkiye rose up but were stuck in front of Portugal's defense. The match ended with a score of 3-0 in favor of Portugal. With this result, coach Roberto Martinez's team won the ticket to continue with 6 points, 3 points more than Türkiye and 5 points more than the Czech Republic and Georgia.
