Portugal concluded their preparation for the 2022 World Cup on a high note, thrashing Nigeria Super Eagles 4-0 in a friendly Thursday. The Portuguese national side hosted the Eagles at the Estadio Jose Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon.

However, the host controlled the game from the blast of the whistle despite being without their veteran striker Cristiano Ronaldo. The World Cup-bound Portuguese side showed the Super Eagles why they are going to Qatar. 

On the other hand, the Super Eagles demonstrated that losing the World Cup qualification to Ghana was not a fluke; they did not give a good account of themselves at all.

Manchester United midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, scored twice in the first half as Portugal took a 2-0 lead.

Fernandes tapped in Diogo Dalot’s cross before stroking a penalty past Francis Uzoho.

The Super Eagles could have pulled one back at 2-0, but Emmanuel Dennis saw his poor penalty saved.

Gonzalo Ramos and Joao Mario added two more goals to seal the win for Fernando Santos’ side.
