Cristiano wins against Lewandowski in the duel of legends and Portugal 'liquidates' Poland (1-2)

Robert Lewandowski could not avoid another defeat for Poland in the UEFA Nations League (1-2). On Saturday, Michal Probierz's men fell at home against a Portugal that was superior in all its lines. Cristiano Ronaldo won the private duel against FC Barcelona's '9', scoring the second goal for the Portuguese that settled the duel before the break. Previously, Bernardo Silva had ahead of the visitors.

'CR7' warned in the 12th minute with a shot against the crossbar. Lucitano's dominance was total in the first half and, in the 26th minute, the score was 0-1 thanks to a great pass from Rúben Neves to Bruno Fernandes, who headed the ball for Bernardo to finish at will. While 'Lewy' suffered in the game, totally isolated in the rival field, Cristiano took advantage to make it 0-2 in the 38th minute. An overflow by Rafa Leao ended in a shot directly to the base of the post. The rebound fell to Ronaldo, who only had to put his foot to send the ball into the back of the net.

Portugal moves away from the lead of Group 1

In the second half, Poland reacted with a goal from Piotr Zielinski in the 78th minute, after a good one-two with Urbanski. However, the Portuguese ended any attempt at a local comeback with a goal against Jan Bednarek in the 88th minute. The Poles were left demanding a penalty for an alleged foul on Zalewski and Portugal eliminated the counterattack, in a controversial goal that the VAR chose to validate.

With the victory, Roberto Martínez's men maintain the lead in Group 1 of the Nations League with 9 points, while Poland is third with 3. Robert Lewandowski played the 90 minutes, but could do little to avoid another fall for his team at home . On Tuesday, Michal Probierz's men will host Croatia, second in the group with 6 points, while Portugal must visit Scotland (bottom, without points).
