Portugal booked their place in the last 16 as group winners at Euro 2024 following a routine victory over Turkey in Dortmund.
Manchester City's Bernardo Silva opened the scoring midway through the first half, striking first time past goalkeeper Altay Bayindir after Nuno Mendes' cross from the left was deflected fortunately into his path.
A calamitous own goal doubled Portugal's lead when defender Samet Akaydin failed to look up before passing it back to Bayindir, who could not prevent the ball from rolling into his own net.
That dampened the exuberant Turkish support, which had begun with hundreds of fans marching to the stadium from the city centre, draped in flags.
Portugal's support was equally impressive, if fewer in number, and they celebrated as their side played with fluidity and composure.
Their team sealed the win when Cristiano Ronaldo unselfishly teed up Bruno Fernandes for a tap-in to make it 3-0 before an hour was played.
The 2016 champions will take on Group F opponents Georgia on Wednesday knowing their job is complete in the group stages, while Turkey can still qualify when they travel to Hamburg to face the Czech Republic.

But why was Ronaldo falling on the first goal 😁🤣😂
All I wrote was fact and truth. 0 sentiment. And yes Portugal was already great and on the map of football's great b4 Ronaldo, winning the world cup bronze medal and producing great players like Eusebio, Figo, Deco and others. So yes Portugal was great b4 Ronaldo. And Portugal with Pepe gave qualified to all tournaments, and now with the pool of these young energetic talented Portuguese, they will achieve more and better. And should I also remind you how Eder scored the only goal to finally hand Portugal their first ever silverware in Ronaldo's absence when he was busily cheerleading from the sidelines? And yes, that's the most important part and moment of Portugal's history. So yes, Portugal had history b4 Ronaldo, and even in his absence, they made history and will continue history after he's gone. And Portugal attained their highest fifa ranking thanks to Hero Eder who put them on the map of European greats with his Euro winning goal. And there's nothing funny about the fact I stated and never said Portugal won the EUROS bcos Ronaldo played 30 minutes so pls be guided. The biggest mistake Santos and Portugal did was to throw in Ronaldo when Portugal was downed by Morocco a goal to nil. They should have taken inspiration from their 2016 Euro finals when they beat France in the absence of Ronaldo. Maybe Ronaldo is better cheerleading from the bench and that may be their luck, yet Santos refused to realise that and committed his biggest regrettable mistake. And yes Portugal can love him bcos he's a Portuguese. They love Eder more! He's the real hero, especially when Ronaldo and his CRying fanbase thought Portugal can't do without him! But God became a Portuguese that day! And United with ETH winning the FA cup is not their standard, but atleast an improvement on how Ronaldo left them. Ronaldo almost took them to Conference league, winning 0 trophies though he promised them that he join them to win. Fact still remains, ETH has two trophies in two seasons with United, Ronaldo in the last 4yrs is yet to win a trophy, and the last time he won a major trophy Messi was still a Barcelona player. Factos!

So does that mean Ronaldo is in immense pain for thrash talking Messi's achievements when he gets the opportunity to do so? Maybe you're right this time. The biggest mistake Santos did was to sub in Ronaldo against Morocco out of pressure and fear of Ronaldo's cronies. Had he maintained the starting team for the first 15 20 minutes of the second half, Portugal would have equalised and probably won the game. Ronaldo came in for about 30 minutes against Morocco and did absolutely nothing than to ghost, standing in the penalty box to feed off the hardwork of his teammates, which really cost them. Someone like Ramos would have also created spaces for his teammates which would have given them a big chance. Erik Ten Hag took that bold decision by dropping Ronaldo and now it has paid off, winning two trophies in his first two seasons with United, while Ronaldo is yet to win a major trophy in the last 4 seasons. Simply put, the last time Ronaldo won a major trophy Messi was still a Barcelona player. And talking about Portugal without Ronaldo, Portugal without Ronaldo recently recorded their biggest win(9-0). Portugal without Ronaldo attained their highest World Cup honor of bronze medal and recorded their biggest win in the world cup. Ronaldo was on the bench, sorry I meant busily cheerleading from the sidelines when Portugal beat France to their first ever silverware. And it seems Portugal without Ronaldo in this yrs Euros will go far and possibly win it. It's sad these energetic vibrant talented young Portuguese have to carry old cargo Ronaldo just to satisfy some egos. And now all they get is backlash from his CRying fanbase for not passing to Ronaldo to score easy tapins. And yes Ramos got his hattrick in the knockout stage of the world cup, a stage where Ronaldo is yet to get a goal or even an assist. And the only hate polluting ones thinking capability is Ronaldo's hate and jeolousy towards Messi. That's why he always want to take a dig at Messi by making statements like "Golden boot is better than ballon dor", "I want to have more ballon dors than Messi", "If Messi wins this year's ballon dor(2019), I will retire", "a true legend is one that wins a trophy with his nation", "Saudi league is a top 5 league", "Fifa has lost credibility", "football has lost credibility",Siuuuuuuuuuu!
You wrong a full history book packed with sentiments more than facts. The bronze you are talking about which was the highest achievement of Portugal was in 1966. After which they struggled to even qualify to a world cup tournament. With Ronaldo, they have qualified to all tournaments. Portugal was average before Ronaldo, should I remind you the Sweden game where he helped them qualify against Zlatan. Their final in a major tournament was with Ronaldo, 2004, best WC finish after the 1966 was with Ronaldo 2006, first major trophy was with Ronaldo, 2016. Best FIFA ranking was with Ronaldo, 2nd. It's funny how you say Portugal lost to Morocco because Ronaldo played 30mins yet you say they won the Euros because Ronaldo only played 30mins. Do you sense hypocrisy there. You can hate all you want but what matters is that the Portuguese value him and they praise him for what he has done for them. Are you seriously praising Ten Hag fo winning FA Cup and finishing 8th. That Man United standards now and it's a pity mediocre fans like you who think out of hatred will settle for 8th place. That team has no direction and for Man United level, it's mediocre just like your football analysis.

Is that what they did and went all the way to finals after dropping Ronaldo during the World Cup?
Portugal would have reached finals and possibly win it had he kept Ronaldo on the bench. Bringing in Ronaldo was his downfall and we all saw it.

Those who speak more against Ronaldo are the ones who are in pain. Ronaldo will play until he decides that he doesn't want to, they can't afford to drop him. Santos dropped him, and when he saw he was on the brink of elimination, threw in Ronaldo knowing very well the media will go after him and cover his a**. Still, that got him sacked. So, out of your hate, you can wish him to be benched or dropped but that's not going to happen at your will or anyone's. He is the one that will decide otherwise. What did Portugal against Morocco without Ronaldo do? What did they do against Croatia without Ronaldo? You keep praising Ramos as if he has done anything since that wonder hattrick. Ronaldo did it against Spain and he did it against what? My man, your hate is polluting your thinking capability.

✅ Pepe won the most possessions (11) against Czechia than any other player on the pitch! 🦾 ✅ He made the most clearances (7) against Türkiye during his time on the pitch. 📛 41-year-young Pepe is still a beast! 👹🇵🇹
