Facing a reshuffled Turkish side, who opted to bench a solid block of Arda Guler, the Portuguese quickly showed they were the more daring, notably with some incursions from Leao on the left flank.

Once again, the opening goal came from the left side, from a cross from Nuno Mendes, which was blocked by a defender, but Bernardo Silva kicked it into the Turkish net with his foot (21).^H).

A few minutes later, the players of Italian coach Vincenzo Montella, coach of Turkey, passed a good ball: a lost pass from Joao Cancelo to Ronaldo, who did not follow it.

But the back pass from Turkish defender Akaydin to his goalkeeper deceived Celik, who came out of his cage, and was unable to retreat in time to prevent the ball from crossing the goal line (28).^H).

Then the Turks tried to respond, to no avail, when Aktürkoğlu faced Diogo Costa (31^H).

Upon his return from the locker room, the Portuguese doubled his dangerous moves, sending Ronaldo deep and alone against the Turkish goalkeeper, and wonderfully advanced with the goal 3-0 for Fernandes (56).^H).
