The Portuguese national team reached the final price of the FIFA World Cup 2022 by defeating Uruguay with two clean goals, on Monday evening, in the second round of Group H competitions in the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Thanks to Bruno Fernandez's goals (54 and 90 + 3), Portugal ensured its presence in the final price, after achieving its second victory today against Uruguay after the first in the first round at the expense of Ghana (3-2), raising its balance to 6 points in first place, while the balance of Uruguay froze. At one point in last place, it has to beat Ghana and wait for the result of the Portugal-South Korea match in the last round.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal in this match after a cross from Bruno and a usual header from a Madeira missile.
The former Manchester United star celebrated vigorously with his ninth World Cup goal, with which Eusebio equaled the top scorer in Portugal's history at the World Cup. This is what we thought for a while, before FIFA confirmed that the goal went to Bruno Fernandez.
Bruno scored the second later, minutes after Ronaldo exited from a penalty kick, to open his World Cup goals with a brace against Uruguay.
The first half witnessed several attempts, the danger was not the most prominent title, but the match was live, as Bruno started with a shot in the eighth minute from outside the area, which passed next to the post.
In the 12th minute, the response came with a header from Jose Maria Jimenez, but it passed over the crossbar.
Ronaldo hit a free kick in the 18th minute, which hit the human wall, while Robin Neves tried in the 20th minute, and his shot collided with the defense.
Uruguay almost took the lead with a great run from Rodrigo Bentancur, but Diogo Costa's glove was on the lookout in the 32nd minute.
In the 34th minute, Ronaldo tried again, but the ball collided and changed direction on the road, which was repeated with Joao Felix in the 35th minute.
tears
Portugal full-back Nuno Mendes fell injured in the 40th minute, leaving the stadium crying and replacing him with Rafael Guerrero, and the first half ended in a goalless draw.
In the second half, specifically in the 54th minute, Bruno Fernandez crossed the first goal, but it hit the net directly, according to FIFA, after Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated the ball on which many followers disagreed: Did it touch his head or not?
Uruguay made two substitutions in the 62nd minute, with Giorgian de Arascaita and Facundo Pellestri replacing Mattia Vecino and Diego Godin, while Portugal responded by involving Rafael Leao instead of Ruben Neves in the 69th minute.
Luis Suarez, accompanied by Maxi Gomez, came to Uruguay, replacing the attacking duo Darwin Nunez and Edinson Cavani in the 72nd minute.
Suarez tried in the 77th minute, but the ball hit the net from the outside, while De Arascaita followed with a shot that Costa shone in the 78th minute.
Bruno's luck
This luck did not stop here, as Ronaldo came out with Joao Felix and William Carvalho in the 82nd minute, and the trio of Matthews Nunez, Goncalo Ramos and Joao Ballenia came in their place.
In the final moments of normal time, Bruno sent a ball that hit Jose Maria Jimenez's hand on the ground, so that the referee reviewed the video technology and awarded a penalty kick.
Ronaldo was supposed to score this desired ninth goal, but he actually went out, and Bruno completed the double in the 93rd minute.
The victory raised Portugal's balance to 6 points, to officially qualify for the round of 16 with France and Brazil, while Uruguay's balance was frozen at one point in last place.
The last round will be played at five in the evening of the second of December, when Portugal will play against South Korea, and Uruguay will play against Ghana.
