Portugal beat Slovakia thanks to a goal from Bruno Fernandes

Portugal won 1-0 in Slovakia this Friday to extend their lead in Group J in qualifying for Euro 2024 with their best start to qualifying for a major competition, adding their fifth win in as many games.

With this result, Portugal tops the group with 15 points, ahead of Slovakia and Luxembourg (both with 10), in second and third place respectively. Bosnia and Herzegovina have six points, Iceland has three points and Liechtenstein remains at zero.
