Portugal defeated Slovakia with a one-sided goal in Group J in the Eurocup Qualifiers. Midfielder Bruno Fernandes scored the winning goal, helping them to the fifth win in the qualifying round. The team is leading the league with 15 points winning all five matches played.
During the match, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was shown a yellow card despite the win, disappointing the Portugal team and fans. He received a yellow card for a foul on Slovakian goalkeeper Dubravka. This was in the sixty-second minute of the game. With this, it is certain that the star will miss the next match.
Ronaldo went into the match against Slovakia in a condition where he could get a one-match suspension if he got one more yellow card. Cristiano got a suspension from Portugal’s next match after receiving a yellow card unexpectedly. With this, it is certain that Cristiano Ronaldo will not be able to play in the match to be held against Luxembourg on the 12th of this month.
The fans of Portugal and the star were hoping that Ronaldo, who has a good record against Luxembourg, would throw goals against them. Now those hopes have backfired.
