While the South American Qualifiers are being played in South America, in Europe there was also a long day of qualifiers for the Euro 2024 and Cristiano Ronaldo was the protagonist with Portugal.
The Al Nassr player started for Portugal during their visit to Slovakia and although he tried to score, he was unable to celebrate with his team. However, the one who ended up scoring the Portuguese victory was Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes.
Likewise, Cristiano was involved in an unfortunate event that is criticized throughout Slovakia and much of Europe, as the forward, in his attempt to score inside the area, ended up running over goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka and leaving him lying on the floor.
Ronaldo’s harsh foul could have ended in expulsion, but the judge decided to spare his life and only gave him a yellow card.
With this victory, Portugal is the leader of group J of the Euro Cup Qualifiers and is now preparing to face Luxembourg next Monday, September 11.
