In a friendly preparation match for the Euro Championship, Portugal, without several executives including Cristiano Ronaldo, dominated Sweden (5-2). Gonzalo Ramos participated in the celebration by scoring the final goal for his team.
Portugal's perfect march continues. After getting 10 out of 10 during the Euro qualifiers, he continued to choose Roberto Martinez with clear success against Sweden on Thursday evening (5-2). On the pitch, it was pointless to look for Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix, Joao Cancelo Vitinha or even Danilo, who were exempted from this match by the coach. However, the absences were not really noticed as the key players were able to do the job well. In the 24th minute of play, with a shot into the top corner, Rafael Leao opened the scoring (1-0, minute 24), and Sweden, for the first time for John Dahl Thomasson on the bench, continued to endure the waves without being able to do so. To stop them.
It will have to be a different team against Slovenia on Tuesday
Matheus Nunes doubled the score (2-0, minute 33), and Bruno Fernandes also scored (3-0, minute 45). In the first half, the score was 3-0 and the suspense was minimal, while the second half ended with Roma (4-0, 57th place) achieving the goal and reducing the gap, thanks to the work of Victor Geukeris (4-1, 58th). He was positioned at the forefront of the attack, and Gonzalo Ramos headed towards his goal before leaving (5-1, minute 63), and at the end of the match Sweden eased the score, a little, very salty, with a goal from Gustav Nilsson (5-2, 90). Facing Slovenia on Tuesday in Ljubljana, Portugal will have to show a completely different face because, once again, 8 players will leave the group, and those who were excused from this Thursday will certainly have to play time. Perhaps there will be a chance to see Cristiano Ronaldo, Vitenha or Danilo on the field for an opponent that should be a little tougher than Thursday night's match against a depleted Sweden.
