Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes marked his birthday with a goal as Portugal beat Slovakia to make it five wins from five in Euro 2024 qualifying.
Match Report
Fernandes, who turned 29 on Friday, struck just before half-time with a superb low finish into the far corner.
He almost got an assist when he set up Cristiano Ronaldo, but the veteran forward fired off target.
The win means Portugal are top of Group J with 15 points from a possible 15.
Slovakia are second in the standings on 10 points as they suffered defeat for the first time in qualifying.
Lukas Haraslin went closest for the hosts, hitting the post before Fernandes struck in the 43rd minute.

I have nothing against Ronaldo but I think he should retire from the international team and give young players a chance... he is already a legend of the game and has the most international goals... He should just retire and give Ramos and Jota chances to also shine

I watched that game very carefully analyzing every attacking movements of portugal going forward , I realized that the team was just okay and played very well accept one player distracted them from scoring Quick one-two's beautiful goals because he's so selfish and still can't understand that football is about team work , him just want to get all the praise by himself. it's high time for some old players in their decline to leave chance to the young players to make prove themselves snd names as well 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ Cause what I saw was not fair. As someone who has already won everything in Football it's high time to assist lay a good foundation and assist the young ones in your team to win as well 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️. I was very very disappointed by someone's decision making in that portugal team.

Cristiano Ronaldo picked up a yellow for this tackle on Martin Dúbravka. It means he misses Portugal’s next Euro 2024 qualifier vs. Luxembourg, who he’s scored 11 goals against in 11 matches 😬 What a great miss for him to added many goals against them 🌟👏🔥✍️🐐🤠

I love the fact that Ronaldo has everything but his enemies keep on making him feel like he as nothing wen it's them who has nothing and busy betting with 1 coins on bet platforms. .. Ronaldo is 30 something almost reaching 40 but haters don't see shit.. He is a fighter n I love him for that n it doesn't matter whether he scores or not .

wow 450 in 438 games tell the whole story how many games is important Ronaldo scored at a better ratio break down the types of goal headers left foot and right foot trophies are won by teams barca was the better team at that time with over half of Spain nationals Messi vs Ronaldo who has is better at heading who is better with both feet answer that please balon ,dors I don't count them inesta and Xavi never won one but won the world cup , European cup and the same amount of trophies with barca as Messi so many points don't make sense who is the better player is up to each person's opinion on how they view what type of player they like I like Ronaldo cause he can shoot with both feet and head the ball 99 % of players can't do that it's a unique skill to do be able have all 3 skills he can also dribble he also has speed an is more athletic so I put him first give me your reasons why you chose Messi not just stats

Don’t cover his bad performance with this comment[Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh]

It's somehow that some humans find it difficult to honour someone who has achieved everything that could be called greatness in his career. 'am sure you can't make such derogatory statement to Ibrahimovic....you will collect from him and regret making such statement. Which player in Tottenham is better than Ronaldo that's 38yrs going to 39yrs. Which player in the world of Ronaldo age is performing at Ronaldo level. Let's learn to honour people and appreciate what they have done and stop hatred
He pointed the absolute facts and you're missing the point here. Nobody is taking away Ronaldo's greatness or what he has brought to the Portugal or football as a whole. But in terms of international football man has to rest and hang jus boots for the younger ones. it's not as if Portugal have a bad team. They've basically the best players or squad in the world with raw talent and it'll only hamper some of their growth if he continues to stay there. Ramos can offer more to that team than Ronaldo right now without any sentimental attachment.
