GOAL FOR PORTUGAL! Guerreiro crosses with his left foot into the penalty area, Inacio “pads” Cristiano Ronaldo, and the captain of the national team appears at the far post and opens the score (1:0). This is CR7’s 123rd goal in 200 games with the team! It took VAR a few minutes to check if Inacio was slightly ahead, but in the end the bid was confirmed. -
