In the second match of Group F Euro 2024, Portugal played Türkiye. Both teams won in the first match, so the result of this match will decide the top spot in the group. In the 21st minute, Portugal opened the scoring.

Rafael Leao overlapped with Nuno Mendes on the left and the PSG defender crossed inside. A Turkish player failed to clear the ball well, only missing Ronaldo but becoming too suitable for Bernando Silva and the Man City star was cool enough to finish with one touch with his left foot, scoring against the Turkish net.

Bernardo Silva scores his first goal for Portugal in a major tournament

According to statistics, this is Silva’s 11th goal for Portugal. However, this is only the first goal for Seleccao in a major tournament. In the previous 10 goals that Silva scored, Portugal ended the match with a perfect record.

In the 29th minute, Portugal scored their second goal. Vitinha controlled the ball awkwardly on the opponent’s half and it seemed like everything was over until Samet Akaydin made a pass back that “went into the ground” due to lack of coordination with goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. The ball slowly rolled over the goal line. This was the 6th own goal at Euro 2024.

2-0 was also the score after the first 45 minutes. With such a huge advantage, Silva and his teammates are facing the possibility of winning 3 points to get a ticket to continue in Group F.
