Cristiano Ronaldo is 'on fire'. The Juventus forward shone in the Portugal vs. Lithuania match corresponding to the Euro 2020 qualifiers, scoring three goals for the 3-0 victory at the LFF stadionas de Vilna. A true beast.
In the 65th minute of the game, Bernardo Silva received the ball on the right and saw 'CR7' alone inside the area, giving him a perfect pass for him to simply touch the ball and deceive the goalkeeper Setkus. The Portuguese 'hat-trick' puts the Portuguese team ahead.
For the Portuguese team, closing the double matchday with six points will be crucial. That is why the team led by Fernando Santos has the mission of defeating the modest Lithuania this Tuesday, September 10. Cristiano Ronaldo and company fulfilled the first part of the task: defeating the Serbians at their home.
As you may recall, the Juventus forward, William Carvalho, Goncalo Guedes, and Bernardo Silva were the authors of the final 4-2 score. With that result, the Portugal national team reached five points and positioned themselves in second place, eight points behind the leader Ukraine. However, the difference between both teams can be reduced if Santos' side comes out victorious in this matchday.
