Cristiano Ronaldo is not fading soon, as he added a goal to his career for his countryside as Portugal defeated Poland 3-1 in their Nations League match that was played in Warsaw. The Al-Nassr FC star has hit the record of 133 goals for Portugal when he doubled the team’s lead in the 37th minute after converting a rebound from Rafael Leão’s shot that hit the post.
Bernardo Silva found the net in the 26th minute to secure Portugal’s early lead after an unsuccessful attempt by Cristiano Ronaldo, where his shot hit the post. Poland reiterated with a goal in the 78th minute from Piotr Zielinski, and the game ended 3-1 after an own goal from Jan Bednarek to Portugal’s advantage.
Portugal maintains a defeatless record in Group A1 after this win in their three games, while Poland remains in third place with three points, coming after Croatia with 6 points and Scotland with 0 points.
Belarus were also unable to convert their chances against Northern Ireland in Nations League Group C3 into a goal as both teams ended the match in a goalless draw. The game was played in Zalaegerszeg in Hungary due to Belarus’s involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine which has since caused a prolonged war.
Liverpool’s star and Northern Ireland captain thought he had helped his side secure an early win in the 10th minute after the game started, but his goal was ruled out for offside.
Northern Ireland had the better chances of walking away with three points, but Belarus’s goalkeeper saved the day by blocking two shots from Jamie Reid and saving efforts from Callum Marshall and Jamal Lewis.
