Portugal’s 3-0 victory over Türkiye in Dortmund today was far, far too easy, and Roberto Martinez’s team advanced mathematically to the Round of 16 as group winners.

The Iberian side was in complete control at halftime with to goals from an enhanced Bernardo Silva in the first half and an absurd own goal from defender Akaydin.

Bruno Fernandes’ early second-half tap-in effectively ended the competition. Cristiano had done a great job of setting up the Türkiye offside trap, and the Al Nassr player had once again played the full ninety minutes.

Even Arda Guler was unable to salvage a point for his team, and in order to move on in the competition, Montella’s team must now at least draw with Czechia.

Portugal made a great effort today to put the terrible performance they had on Tuesday against Leipzig in the rain behind them and will inspire supporters to believe that they can win everything.
