Portugal sealed their qualification for Euro 2024 with their 3-2 win over Slovakia on Friday, but they didn’t exactly have it all their own way in a thrilling encounter.

Goncalo Ramos scored a header from a superb Bruno Fernandes cross to open the scoring, before Cristiano Ronaldo notched from the penalty spot after a penalty was awarded for handball. Ronaldo should have added his second and his country’s third before half-time, but he somehow missed an open goal from six yards out.

Slovakia pulled a goal back with conditions worsening due to heavy rain, as David Hancko’s long-range shot was deflected into the bottom corner by Antonio Silva. Ronaldo, though, hit back just three minutes later, tapping in another exceptional Fernandes cross at the back post.

Man Utd star Bruno Fernandes was Portugal’s best player in this game. Somehow missed a header of his own from four yards that would have capped a great performance.

He also played 4 key passes, 3 crosses, 1 long ball, shot accuracy: 3/3 (100%), Passes into the final third: 9, Passing accuracy: 41/53 (77%)
