Portugal stuck a handling in Poland this Saturday evening on the second day of group C of Euro U21 (5-0). The Rui Jorge team is first in its pool before facing Georgia in three days.
Mute against France three days earlier (0-0)Portugal has moved up a gear in the face of a valiant Polish team, which has not deserved. But the Portuguese offensive armada, carried out among others by an excellent Geovany Quenda, was simply too strong and only made a bite of his opponents.
This Saturday evening is the chelsea player – which will remain an additional season on loan to Sporting – who launched hostilities. At the quarter of an hour of play, on a decisive pass from Roger Fernandes, the 18 -year -old winger opened the scoring, before doubled the impact less than ten minutes later, following a sublime Solist number, which again followed a service from his teammate who plays at SC Braga.
Double scorer, Quenda turned into a passer at half an hour of play for Henrique Araujo, decorated with the captain's armband and holder in place of Tiago Tomas. Before half-time, Paulo Bernardo came to register the fourth Portuguese goal, despite a greater possession and a more interesting balloon on the side of the Poles, who were damn poorly paid.
Upon returning from the locker room, Rui Jorge took advantage of the large advantage of his team to replace Geovany Quenda, Paulo Bernardo and Roger Fernandes, in anticipation of the third match against Georgia. These three changes reduced the danger that weighed on the Polish defense, but will still have allowed Rodrigo Gomes to register the fifth and last goal of the meeting.
5-0, Portugal is leader of its group after this second day, before France, winner of Georgia at the same time (3-2). This Tuesday, the Portuguese hopes will face the Georgians. A victory or a draw would be enough for them to qualify in the quarterfinals of the competition.
