On Monday, Portugal became the third team to secure a place in the round of 16 of the World Cup by beating Uruguay 2-0 in a Group H round of 16 match played in Lusail.
After giving two assists in the first match in which Portugal beat Ghana 3-2, Bruno Fernandes scored the goals that, in the 54th minute and, from the penalty spot, at 90+3, sealed the victory of the formation of the corners, which united France and Brazil in the round of 16.
On the first attempt, Raphael Guerreiro combined with number 8, who finished off the ball for Ronaldo to enter. At first it looked like the captain had grazed the ball, deflecting it away from Rochet to open the scoring, but then FIFA awarded the goal to Bruno Fernandes and replays of the shot appeared indicating Ronaldo missed the ball.
The second came in added time, from the penalty spot. Bruno Fernandes made the save, with a small jump, before shooting to the left with the goalkeeper already falling to the right.
In the classification of Group H, Portugal now has six points, ensuring one to guarantee victory in the group, against three from Gana and one from Uruguay and South Korea, who lost today 3-2 with the Africans and faces the Portuguese team on friday.
