Portugal beat Turkey 3-0 and confirmed its presence in the round of 16 of the Euro Cup After adding six points in two games, they will be able to make moves in the last game of the group stage without worry, while the Turks will risk their lives against the Czech Republic.
A new victory for Portugal based on good football secured a place in the next round, surpassing Turkey in everything, which also had the misfortune of scoring an own goal when trying to recover after going behind.
The Portuguese team led throughout the entire match, but it took them a while to put an end to the Turkish resistance and it was not until the 21st minute that they were able to get the victory back on track after Bernardo Silva’s first goal in the Euro with a shot inside the area that made him justice to the scoreboard.
The Ottomans were trying to get up from the first blow when Samet Akaydin delayed the ball for his goalkeeper, whom he grabbed outside the goal to score an own goal in the 28th minute that gave definitive direction to the match that ended up finishing the Portuguese team in the second half.
Bruno Fernandes sealed the victory in the 56th minute after pushing the ball into the goal after an assist from Cristiano Ronaldo. Portugal dominated the rest of the match, but the gap did not increase and they will play in the round of 16, which they have not failed to do since 1996.
