The game
Portugal was superior in the first half, had more ball possession, but took a while to create goalscoring chances. Gradually, in the final stretch of the first 45 minutes, the Portuguese team evolved and started to scare more. At 44 minutes, just before the break, Bernardo Silva scored and opened the scoring for the home team.
The second half was warmer and less opportunities, once again. Bosnia scared in the 14th minute after a good aerial play, but it didn’t go much further than that. In this way, Portugal controlled the scoreboard and reached the 31st minute, with Bruno Fernandes headed after a cross by Rúben Neves, and at the 47th minute, once again with the Manchester United midfielder.
