Portugal beat Poland 3-1 to maintain perfect Nations League start

Baku, October 13, AZERTAC

First-half goals from Bernardo Silva and Cristiano Ronaldo helped group leaders Portugal to a comfortable 3-1 victory away to Poland in the Nations League on Saturday as they continued their perfect start to the competition with three wins, according to Reuters.

Silva put Portugal in front after 26 minutes, netting from Bruno Fernandes’ headed assist, before Ronaldo doubled their lead 11 minutes later with a low, first-time shot.

Piotr Zielinski pulled a goal back for Poland in the 78th with a powerful strike into the roof of the net before home defender Jan Bednarek netted an own goal in the dying minutes.

Portugal continue to set pace in League A Group One with nine points, three points clear of Croatia who came from behind to beat visitors Scotland 2-1 earlier on Saturday. Poland are third with three points while the Scots have none so far.
