"He scored a crucial first goal, never lost the ball, and was very influential in how Portugal controlled the game. He continued to work in attacking and defending roles until the end of the game. He had the sharpest statistics among all players on the pitch and played three key passes," said UEFA Technical Observer Panel.

Portugal have now won all 11 international games when Bernardo Silva scored. This confirms how important Silva's contribution to the team's success is.

This victory makes Portugal closer to the next round at UEFA EURO 2024. They show consistent and solid performance in every match. With Bernardo Silva as one of the team's attacking motors, Portugal looks very dangerous for its opponents.

"We feel the team is in a good position. We feel we are on the right track and, even though there is still one more group game, we are ready for the round of 16," said Silva.

"Whether this is my first goal or not, it is irrelevant; the important thing is that we have passed and are ready for the next stage. We are very good today. They pressed high but we controlled everything, limited their threats and found space behind them," he added.

Portugal will continue its struggle in Group F with high optimism after this impressive performance. They will face their next opponent, Belgium, with the same spirit, trying to continue to maintain their best performance in this tournament.

Bernardo Silva, with his brilliant performance, has not only proven himself as a key player for Portugal, but also as one of the best players at the 2024 UEFA EURO.
