The Portuguese national team put four goals past the Nigerians in a one-sided affair in Lisbon on Thursday
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has declared Portugal's readiness to shine at the World Cup after helping the Selecao trounce Nigeria.
In a sold-out Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon on Thursday evening, Portugal ran out 4-0 winners in their final warm-up match before jetting out for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Bruno Fernandes was at the heart of everything good about the Portuguese, the midfielder scoring the home side's first two goals.
The first was a first-time finish past goalkeeper Francis Uzoho while the second was from the penalty spot after Bernardo Silva's cross struck the arm of the lively Bright Osayi-Samuel.
Gonçalo Ramos and João Mário added two more goals in the second half of the encounter, moments after Emmanuel Dennis missed a penalty for Nigeria.
Pleased with the Selecao's display, Fernandes believed Portugal were perfect against the sorry Eagles.
“The perfection didn’t exist or at least it is very hard to accomplish, but we made a great game, dominating every level,” Fernandes told Sport TV.
“It was a win that gives us great confidence ahead of our debut against Ghana. We are a team, it is not about individuals and we have a great group, young players that are up-and-coming and hungry. We are ready for the World Cup.”
The Super Eagles, under coach Jose Peseiro, finish 2022 on a low after losing their last matches of the year to Algeria and Portugal.

I hope eagles are learning. . eagles remember dey beat Argentina 4 1 in friendly. eagles beat France in friendly .
so it is not new.
it was just a day all things went bad in the first half.
it is now the responsibility of the football house to begin to stamp their authority on the players by rules and fines . the penalty loss 2thousand dollars .
absent from national call after 3 invite is no more invitation.for the person involve even if he is the world best .
lateness to camp 5000 Dollar
any player who is on reserve in club wil not be invited.
any player without other innate skill will not be invited. a player shud be noted for something on the field not passer of the ball. sending is different from passer .
some guys on the field na pass dey come do..make den no say na me spoil game. .I remember the statement. if u a doctor Yu doctor well .if u teacher u teach well if u famer u farm well . if u writer u write well .if u are footballer u play well.no bi so
