The National Football Team did not disappoint the more than 20 fans who went to the Algarve Stadium to watch Portugal – Armenia. The quinas team had to wait until the 72nd minute to get ahead of the scoreboard, when Cristiano Ronaldo, for many the best player in the world, beat the Armenian goalkeeper and set the record for goals in European Championships for national teams.
During the first half, Portugal had more ball but could not find a way to get past the Armenian defensive wall, despite the support of the Algarve fans.
It was necessary for the coach Fernando Santos to move the team, bringing in Éder and Quaresma, to replace Postiga and Danny, for the Seleção to reach the goal, when the crowd at the Estádio Algarve was starting to get worried about the passing of the minutes.
It was the “inevitable” Ronaldo to reach the goal after a move by Quaresma's right, who shot to defend Berezovskiy, Nani insisted and the captain scored.
With this victory, Portugal reached six points from three games and is in second place in Group I qualifying for Euro 2016, one point behind Denmark that, this Friday, beat Serbia. However, the team from the corners has one game less.
Portugal continues unbeaten at the Estádio Algarve, counting at this point with five wins and two draws in seven games.
