Portugal won Group F with a game to spare at Uefa Euro 2024 as Premier League pair Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva scored in a commanding win over Turkiye to give the Selecao a second win from two matches at the finals.
Manchester City midfielder Bernardo pounced on a delivery from Nuno Mendes to net for the first time at a major international tournament with 21 minutes played.
Samet Akaydin scored a calamitous own goal seven minutes later, turning a pass from outside the penalty area past the helpless Altay Bayindir after failing to check his goalkeeper’s position.

Manchester United playmaker Fernandes swept in the close-range third from Cristiano Ronaldo’s pass ten minutes after half-time, affording the 2016 champions a chance to rest players when they face Georgia in their final group-stage game on Wednesday.
Portugal v Turkiye: Result sends Selecao through
After a testing opener against Czechia, falling behind and only prevailing through a 92nd-minute winner, Portugal could scarcely have asked for an easier evening against opponents who had been expected to cause them problems.
Turkiye matched Portugal’s three attempts on target but finished with an expected goals tally of 0.65, while the team considered by many to be contenders for the title finished on 1.83.
Bernardo’s unerring finish seemed to have inspired a response from Vincenzo Montella’s players, only for Akaydin’s dreadful error to roll past stand-in goalkeeper Bayindir, who scrambled back in a vain attempt to claw the ball off the line.
