Portugal’s midfielder Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring in the 54th minute of the game. The midfielder made a soft cross from the corner of the penalty area and forward Cristiano Ronaldo failed to reach the ball with his head but confused the goalkeeper, who did not react. The ball flew straight into the far corner of the net without touching Ronaldo’s head. On 90 +1 minutes, Fernandes converted a penalty and sealed the final score.
