Legendary Cristiano and Portugal’s right-footed kick – Poland knew Scotland in the 97th minute!

Right foot for Portugal at Cristiano’s night. Martinez’s team bent me 2-1 Croatia in Lisbon in the Nations League opener. Terrible “double” of Poland at the home of Scotland with a score 3-2.

Portugal have left behind their – not successful – presence at Euro 2024, starting their duties in the Nations League. Just in the 7th minute o Dalot showed the way to victory to the Iberians. After taking advantage of B. Fernandez’s ball and executing Livakovic in his closed corner, he opened the scoring. At 34′ it was Cristiano’s turn. After all, it was to be expected that this would be his night. Taking advantage of Mendes’ nice cross from the left, he slotted past the Fenerbahce goalkeeper from close range and reached 900 goals in his career.

Terrible mess happened at Scotland-Polandwith the visitors winning 3-2. In the first half they were the absolute boss of the match and they went to the locker room leading 2-0. Because they opened and closed the half brilliantly, with Sebastian Szymanski finding the net in the 8th minute and Lewandowski in the 44th minute.

The home side’s counter-attack started with a “good morning” in the second half, with Gilmour reducing in the 46th minute, while McTominay equalized in the 76th minute. The final talk belonged to Poland, with Zalewski scoring a “golden” goal in the 97th minute with a penalty kick.
