Two-faced Cristiano Ronaldo, Vitinha game-changer: Portugal scores against Poland

Portugal beat Poland this Friday afternoon (5-1), on the fifth day of the League of Nations. Find out the ratings we gave to the Seleção players.

Diego Costa (7) : In his Porto stadium, the young 25-year-old goalkeeper looked more relaxed than usual. Author of a few important saves without conviction, he gave his defense serenity, even in his kicking game. He can’t do much about the goal he agrees to.

Nuno Mendes (8) : When the horses are loose, it is unstable. And it is even difficult to think that Roberto Martinez tried to limit him to a 3rd defensive position in the first 45 minutes. Once launched, the defenders only need to pray. Great assist on Rafael Leão’s opener (59′).

Renato Veiga (4) : The black point of the evening. Estimated in his resume, beaten in several duels, it was clear that Chelsea’s versatile player was not up to standard.

Antonio Silva (4.5) : It was not much better on the Lisbon side. As a substitute at SL Benfica, he preferred Tomás Araujo, who is a starter for the Encarnados… We can blame him for the same things as Veiga.

Diogo Dalot (5): A true definition of doing the act of presence. We hardly saw him, and the space behind him sometimes created opportunities for the Poles. He wins this penalty at random, which his good friend Ronaldo immediately converted.

João Neves (5.5) : He didn’t have a bad first half, on the other hand. He is even the best midfielder. But his yellow card was accepted, and Roberto Martinez didn’t hesitate to take him off at half-time.

Vitinha (9) : And what an entry into the game from little Portugal! The author of the first part of the season for PSG, he took advantage of the 45 minutes he was given to comment on it. Lots of rhythm in his game, a superb pass to Dalot who takes the penalty, two assists to the magnificent goals from Fernandes and Ronaldo, what more could you ask for?

Bernardo Silva (5) : We only saw him when he left the field to make way for Samuel Costa. He is soon approaching 100 caps and is still capable of such a normal performance. It’s heartbreaking.

Bruno Fernandes (6.5) : Horrible in the first half, acquits itself well in the second half. He swapped emergency passes, phone calls and disruptive gestures for more smiles and a “branger” attitude that some people like. Good banger.

Rafael Leão (8): Among the rare joys on the Portuguese side in the first half, there was Rafael. And when his teammates decided to level up, things happened much more naturally and his goal was reached. From the head, it does not happen often, it must be emphasized. As we must also emphasize his impressive return which leads directly to this goal.

Pedro Neto (8) : A few days after scoring his first goal with Chelsea, Neto distinguished himself for the selection. Found deep by Ronaldo, he sent a beautiful praline to the keeper, obviously far too powerful to stop. His activity and crosses helped the team a lot.

Cristiano Ronaldo (7) : What? Only 7? For two goals and an assist? There are. Because we can’t turn a blind eye to his completely disastrous first period. Between the passes he missed, the pity he had and his blows at the referee, nothing was going well. Even his second half is not perfect. But he deserves to never give up. And for recording this magnificent acrobatic comeback for us.
