With a doublet of Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal sealed his preparation for the Euro Cup with a resounding victory over Irelandafter winning 3 to 0.
The performance of the Portuguese emblem, added to the excellent performance of the team, left a feeling of optimism ahead of the continental tournament.
After a painful defeat against Croatia, where the team showed deficiencies in both creativity and play, the team led by Roberto Martínez recovered spectacularly against Ireland.
This match highlighted not only the skill of Bruno Fernandes, but also the inexhaustible scoring ability of Ronaldo, who continues to increase his legacy at 39 years old.
João Felix opened the account for the Portuguese team 18 minutes into the first half, while 4 minutes into the second half Cristiano Ronaldo scored, with his classic control on the wing and the hammock inwards to define with a left-footed shot into the corner for the 2 to 0.
And at 14, now without luxury, he pushed the ball after a pass from Diogo Jota for the final 3-0.
Furthermore, Cristiano Ronaldo had a very special date for him and for Real Madrid, since on June 11, 2009 – 15 years ago – the Portuguese arrived at the Spanish team from Manchester United.
In other friendlies, Greece beat Malta 2-0, Ukraine beat Moldova 4-0, Cyprus beat San Marino 4-1, and Northern Ireland beat Andorra 2-0.
