DIOGO COSTA Smoothie
A classy spectator in the first half, he handled the job at hand smartly but was unable to do anything about Morata’s goal.
Cancel Clueless
From more to less like the rest of his teammates, the City winger was key in getting the ball out and closed his wing well until Nico got his back in the act of scoring.
DANILO All right
Impeccable by high and helping his teammates, he was fed up with rebounding balls.
RUBEN DAYS Leader
The unarmed captain of Portugal. From the top he was huge but, like the rest of the defence, he made the mistake of trusting Morata’s goal.
NUNO MENDES Wondering
He is physically privileged and has a lot of technique and ambition to join the attack. One of the best in Portugal.
NEVES Worker
He occupied the double pivot with William Carvalho. He lost his composure when Gavi and Pedri entered.
WILLIAM CARVALHO Passed
He was always cool but he was overwhelmed in the second half.
BRUNO FERNANDES Tasteless
He only missed a long shot in the first half, little baggage for a player of his category.
Bernard is the best
He didn’t interfere much but he did everything well. As soon as he left, Portugal fell.
DIOGO JOTA Dangerous
He is the Portuguese striker who created the most chances. He headed Carvajal and made it 1-0 but an excellent Unai met.
Desperate CHRISTIAN
He had two very clear scoring chances but Unai let him down. He is far from his best level although he is always a threat.
THE CHANGES
JOAO MARIO Defensive
He replaces Bernardo to throw a cable in defense and try to stop Pedri and Gavi.
VITINHA Sacrifices
He went in to help with the spinal cord and was barely visible during the attack.
LEAO Powerful
He was at a high level and was one of the standouts for Portugal in the second half.
JOAO FELIX Testimonial
He came in after 0-1 and did nothing.
