Portugal confirmed their place in the Euro 2024 knockout rounds with a resounding 3-0 thrashing of Turkey in Dortmund on Sunday.
A 21st-minute goal from Bernardo Silva kicked things off shortly before one of the most bizarre and remarkable own-goals you’re likely to see from Turkey’s Samet Akaydin, who failed to check where goalkeeper Altay Bayindir was before passing back.
Portugal didn’t relent after half-time and made it 3-0 in the 56th minute thanks to Bruno Fernandes, receiving a squared pass from Cristiano Ronaldo for a simple finish after some more poor defending from Turkey.
Despite an excellent Portuguese display, the match was marred by four separate pitch invaders running on to try and get selfies with Ronaldo.
Focusing on the football, here are the full player ratings from the match in Dortmund:
Turkey vs Portugal player ratings
Turkey
Altay Bayindir – 3/10 – Had no business coming out so far on the own-goal. Made just one save. A nightmare afternoon for the Man Utd man.
Zeki Celik – 4/10 – Dreadful positioning and lack of concentration to keep Ronaldo onside for the third Portugal goal. Was actually one of Turkey’s better players apart from that, but the one big negative far outweighed the collection of small positives.
Samet Akaydin – 2/10 – Always look before you pass. Always look before you pass. Akaydin is going to see that own-goal played back to him again and again in years to come. It was truly dreadful.
Abdulkerim Bardakci – 5/10 – Harshly booked for a slide tackle where he won the ball. Looked lost against a talented Portuguese forward line.
Ferdi Kadioglu – 7/10 – About as good as it got at the back for Turkey, making four tackles, four clearances, four recoveries and two interceptions, while also completing all three of his dribbles and creating one chance.
Hakan Calhanoglu – 5/10 – Only misplaced two passes but didn’t really do anything with them. One for six on his crossing success.
Kaan Ayhan – 5/10…
