Portugal were without their record goal scorer and talisman, Cristiano Ronaldo, but that didn’t stop them from getting a win against Italy in the first match of the UEFA Nations league tournament in Lisbon, Portugal.
They although had to rely on their rejuvenated forward, Andre Silva, whose magical touch in the Italian defence area made it easy for him to have a sight at goal – And he finished with aplomb by putting the ball beyond the reach of the Italian goalkeeper.
The Portuguese fans are as a result of this ecstatic and have taken to social media to express their satisfactions with their National team display.

Difficult to pick out individual standouts from a good all-round disciplined performance from Portugal, but Mário Rui, Bernardo Silva and VELVET TANK (aka William Carvalho) the pick of the bunch for me.

This whole match serves as a giant humiliation for Milan tbh. Andre Silva scoring against a mostly Milan defence
