Results Portugal vs Bosnia – The desire to win of Ronaldo and his teammates was not diminished even though they won tickets to the Euro 2024 finals.
Despite the nature of a procedural match, Portugal still fielded a strong lineup with Ronaldo starting as a guest of Bosnia. And coach Roberto Martinez proved his choice was right when CR7 put the away team up 2-0 in the first 20 minutes.
While the first goal was a penalty that deceived the goalkeeper, the completion of the double was an exquisite run and finish by the Portuguese captain. The two goals helped Ronaldo continue to chase Lukaku on the Euro 2024 qualifying top scorer rankings (9 compared to 10).
