The Portugal closes the big match of Euro 2024 with a double advantage with the Türkiye. The match has been decided so far by a goal by Bernardo Silva in the 21st minute and an own goal by Akaydin in the 28th minute. Game never in question at least for now.
The story of the two Portuguese goals
Turkey started strong and in the 6th minute Akturkoglu already had the ball for a possible 1-0: his attempt from Celik’s cross, however, was really poorly calibrated. Portugal responds with the opener from Bernardo Silva. Rafael Leao serves Nuno Mendes, whose low cross from the left is deflected by Kokcu and becomes a good one for the Manchester City midfielder: his moving penalty leaves Bayindir no chance. 0-1 for the Portuguese in Dortmund. Montella’s national team skidded and in the 28th minute made it 2-0 on their own. Crazy back pass from Akaydin towards Bayindir who, outside the posts, tries to make up for his teammate’s mistake without however managing to get to the ball in time.
