This Saturday, Portugal beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-0 at the Da Luz Stadium and maintained their unbeaten record in three UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers under manager Roberto Martinez.
The Portuguese team even started the game unsuccessfully, demonstrating a blatant inability to create danger. The first shot on goal was delivered in the 37th minute, but away we go…
The Bosnians came up with a football based on Dzeko’s strength, muscle and talent. The Portuguese who resort to help do not have any complexes. And the first sign of danger came from Leon Barisic, who forced Diogo Costa into a tight defense with a cross-cut. A warning has been given.
The Portuguese reaction was immediate and CR7 still scored in the next minute, but he was in an unconventional position.
The Bosnians with straight football and a small leis were even close to the goal with Dzeko’s shot that went wide.
Portugal gave the first blow to Félix after a coup from Ronaldo, but the goalkeeper saved him.
The Portuguese goal came at the end of the first half thanks to Bernard Silva. CR7 in combination with Bruno Fernandes who helped with a throwing pass.
In the extra stage, Portugal showed stronger football and controlled the game better. The Bosnians just defended themselves, and as a result, Bruno Fernandes shone. First with a headline, and then with a bomb at the entrance to the zone. An honest triumph in a display that started off in grey.
