Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes leads Portugal to a 9-0 win against Luxembourg in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Portugal defeated Luxembourg 9-0 in tonight’s European Championship qualification match at the Estadio Algarve, with Manchester United player Bruno Fernandes giving a superb effort.
With Cristiano Ronaldo sidelined, the Portuguese superstar played a key role in tonight’s victory, as the Selecao retained their unblemished record in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Roberto Martinez’s club has gone undefeated in their last six games, allowing no goals and scoring 24 themselves. This current victory marks the country’s largest-ever triumph.
Portugal now leads Group J by five points over Slovakia, which they defeated the previous Friday in Bratislava. Luxembourg is in third place, three points behind the leader.
According to the club’s official website, Fernandes, who scored the game-winning goal against Slovakia, assisted on three goals and scored one himself as the Reds controlled the game.
In only an hour of play, the United maestro created seven scoring chances while showing his control in midfield.
The skipper of the Red Devils played a tremendous game and was undoubtedly the player of the match. His exceptional passing range and ability to make precise passes were on display.
In the first half, he provided two nearly similar crosses, both of which were skillfully converted by Goncalo Inacio.
The highlight of Fernandes’ play was his second-half assist for Diogo Jota’s goal. The United No. 8 noticed Jota making a well-timed run into open space and delivered a brilliantly lofted pass directly to the feet of his teammate. The rest was done by the Liverpool forward.
Fernandes subsequently scored his own goal in the 83rd minute of the game. Goals were scored by Goncalo Ramos, Ricardo Horta, and Joao Felix.
The United playmaker’s current form is simply outstanding. On the field, he is unplayable and completely selfless.
Throughout the game, he was a driving force for Portugal, displaying his exceptional passing ability, as he had done in the previous game against Slovakia, where he scored a beautiful winning goal.
Man United fans will be keen to watch the star perform when the Premier League begins, especially when they face a spirited Brighton & Hove Albion side at Old Trafford this Saturday.
