Bruno Fernandes, midfielder for Portugal, downplayed the significance of whether the first goal against Uruguay (2-0) was his or Cristiano Ronaldo's, because the "important" thing was the victory and qualification for the round of 16. He stated that the "objective" is to win all three matches and explained that he didn't see what had happened when a fan jumped onto the field with a rainbow flag for LGBTQ+ rights.
"It's not interesting who scored the goal. It was a pass for him. It seemed like Cristiano touched it on the field. Here, what's important is that we won and we're thinking about the next match against a tough opponent. Being group leaders means winning the next match, which will give us three victories. We're taking it game by game and we want to win all of them in the group stage," said the player, chosen as the best player of the match.
