Portugal won 4-1 in Group A of League A on Saturday night at the Dragon Stadium in Porto. Diego Jotta doubled the lead after Joao Cancello’s goal gave the team the lead. His other two scorers are Joao Felix and Andre Silva. Croatia’s only goal was scored by Bruno Petkovic.
Portugal made 26 shots to score throughout the match, 11 of which were on target. Three shots intercepted the post. On the other hand, Croatia, who have been busy managing their own home most of the time, only had two of five shots on target.
Portugal, who have been attacking continuously, have created many opportunities before moving forward. But misfortune did not leave them behind. Croatian goalkeeper Dominique Livakovic was also a major obstacle.
In the 19th minute, Livakovic returned with a strong shot from Cancello. Four minutes later, Felix’s shot was blocked to the post. The Dinamo Zagreb goalkeeper kept the net intact with a double save in the 25th minute.
In the 26th minute, Jota’s head was also blocked in the post. Six minutes later, for the third time, Portugal’s attempt missed the post; Rafael Guerrero’s shot hit the post and the goalkeeper cleared the danger.
Finally in minute 41 the success equalized. Manchester City defender Cancello found direction with a quick shot from a distance of about 20 meters with the ball on the left side.
Jota doubled the lead in the 57th minute with great skill. The Wolverhampton Wanderers forward edged past the keeper with a low shot, taking control of Guerrero’s extended ball with his chest.
Felix’s goal in the 80th minute ensured the hosts’ victory. The young Atlético de Madrid striker caught Bernardo Silver’s pass and sent the ball into the net with a powerful shot from outside the area. Great game from the start Leverkovich can take some responsibility for this goal. The ball was not too far from the body, but the ball crossed the goal line in his hand.
Petkovic scored the consolation goal in added time. He beat the goalkeeper on a low shot by taking the ball once with Ante Rebich.
However, three minutes later, Silva increased the distance to three goals. The Eintracht Frankfurt forward hit the net just before the ball bounced off Pep’s head.
In another group match that started at the same time, France beat Sweden with the only goal from Killian Mbap.
