In the process, the Portuguese continue and it is this time Joao Felixserved by Bernardo Silvawho scored with a header (2-0, 15th). CR7 and his teammates don’t stop, and that’s Bernardo Silva who is this time at the reception of a superb center of Palinha (3-0, 18th). Half an hour into the game, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, twice with his left foot, and scored his 122nd goal in the Portuguese jersey. 4-0 at the break.

10 goals in two games
Upon returning from the locker room, Portugal eased off slightly and let Luxembourg play more, whose offensive limits were quite obvious. Finally, the 2016 European champions will drive the point home even further, and it’s the entrants that make the difference. On a serve from the left of rafael leao, otavio takes the lead and brings the mark to 5-0 in the 77th minute. Shortly after, the Milanese will miss a penalty saved by Anthony Moris, before catching up on an individual action and scoring the 6th and last goal for Portugal.
