Portugal 5-1 Poland (November 15, 2024) Game analysis

Portugal sealed their place in the Nations League quarter-finals after a Cristiano Ronaldo double with a penalty and an overhead kick helped them clinch visiting Poland 5-1 in Group A1 on Friday.

Rafael Leão broke the deadlock with a header just before the hour mark before Ronaldo doubled the lead from the spot in the 72nd minute with a confident strike into the center of the goal.

The hosts then scored three goals in eight minutes thanks to clever attacking from Bruno Fernandes, Pedro Neto and Ronaldo before Dominik Marczuk got a consolation for Poland in the 88th.

Unbeaten Portugal top the group with 13 points, six ahead of Croatia, who lost 1-0 to Scotland, who are still bottom but are now level on four points with third-placed Poland.
