Portugal vs. Qatar: André Silva’s header after Rafael Leão’s cross for the Portuguese 3-0 | VIDEO

Portugal beat Qatar 3-0 this Saturday in a preparation friendly valid for the October FIFA date. Cristiano Ronaldo led the Portuguese victory and the one in charge of closing it was André Silva.

In 37, Cristiano received in the small area and, in a heads up with the goalkeeper, scored the 112th goal with his national team and opened the can.

With his role fulfilled, the captain stayed in the shower after the break and gave way to another debut in the “quinas”, that of Rafael Leão.

But this time Portugal did not need so long to see the goal and when the clock had run just three minutes José Fonte extended the lead in a rebound after a corner, in which it was his first goal as an international.

The advantage calmed the Portuguese, who still kept looking for the third against a Qatar team that, although they managed to have possession in some moments, did not pose any threat to the rival goal.

Dalot got to sneak the ball between the three posts in 85, but the goal was canceled because the referee understood that he had touched the ball with his hand, in a doubtful play.

Three minutes later, Leão was about to complete his debut with a goal when the ball exploded against the post, but in the end his debut was marked by an assist.

The Milan player put a cross from the left wing for André Silva to head to the nets and complete the victory already in 91.

Portugal took a placid victory before their next match, scheduled for Tuesday against Luxembourg, corresponding to the qualifying phase for the 2022 World Cup.
