BREAKING: #Ronaldo-Less #Portugal Humiliate Super Eagles Of Nigeria – #Chukwueze—-The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Portugal national team has just defeated the Suoer Eagles of Nigeria in an International friendly in Lisbon on Thursday night.
This inline news platform gathered that Portugal defeated Nigeria 4-0 in tonight’s international friendly
Despite being without talisman Cristiano Ronaldo, the hosts took control of the game from the blast of the whistle.
Manchester United midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, scored twice in the first half as Portugal took a 2-0 lead.
Fernandes tapped in Diogo Dalot’s cross, before stroking a penalty past Francis Uzoho.
The Super Eagles could have pulled one back at 2-0, but Emmanuel Dennis saw his poor penalty saved.
Gonzalo Ramos and Joao Mario added two more goals to seal the win for Fernando Santos’ side.
It’s a cheering result for Fernando Santos’ men – who, lest we forget, had lost two of their three previous games.
But, though the Nigerians improved in the second half, they really didn’t offer up all that much of a test. The Portuguese can hardly expect to enjoy strolls like that in Qatar.
A reminder that Portugal get their World Cup campaign underway against Ghana on 24 November.
For Nigeria, it’s now three straight losses in all competitions, and six friendly defeats in a row. They’re not going to be at the World Cup, and it isn’t a happy time to be a Super Eagle.
