Portugal opened their home duel with Poland in UEFA Nations League A Group 1, where the first half ended without a goal. However, in the second half, they scored 5 goals from Cristiano Ronaldo 2 goals, Bruno Fernandes, Rafael Leo and Pedro Neto each, winning 5-1 and successfully securing a ticket to the quarter-finals.

“It was a game of two halves,” Martinez said after the game. “The first half was very poor for what we wanted to do. We lost focus and got frustrated.”

“But the second half was the best half I’ve ever seen. It’s not easy to win every game and score five goals. Winning in front of your fans is special.”

“Vitinha came on as a substitute and played very well, but the difference between the two teams was not one player. We changed our mindset and increased the intensity of our play, and we helped each other. We did not let Poland play.” ( superwin636 )
