Portugal registered a magnificent victory with a 3-0 scoreline against the Turkiye side and has now sealed their places in the Round of 16 of the Euro 2024.

And in the match, Cristiano Ronaldo played exquisitely. He was not at his best when it came to finishing, but the Portugal captain set up Bruno Fernandes for the third goal of the match.

Bernardo Silva opened the scoring for Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo's flick-on played a part in that as well, but the ball came to Bernardo after a deflection. Ronaldo created 3 chances in the match and had a pretty huge impact on the game.

The 39-year-old was through on goal in the second half and as many thought the Portugal captain will take a crack at goal, he rolled it over to Bruno Fernandes who tapped it in comfortably for the goal.
