Rafa revolutionized and Portugal starts the Euro with a win

Opening day for Portugal in the 2020 European Championship. Against Hungary, at Puskás Arena, in Budapest, the National Team won by 0-3, with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo (2) and Raphael Guerreiro, in the game from matchday 1 of group F. The benfiquista Rafa was involved in the three goals from Portugal!

The SL Benfica came on at 71' to replace Bernardo Silva and changed the game. He provided the assist for Raphael Guerreiro in the 0-1 and Cristiano Ronaldo in the 0-3, and he suffered the penalty that resulted in the 0-2 also converted by Portugal's number 7. 

In addition to Rafa and Bernardo Silva, it is worth mentioning the presence of several elements that went through the Eagles' academy: Nélson Semedo, Rúben Dias, Danilo and Renato Sanches.

STATEMENTS

Rafa: "We were lacking a goal in the opportunities we had, but then we made it. It was good for us, we started the tournament well. We knew they were going to try to defend as best they could, and they did a good job, and try to come out on the counter-attack to create problems for us, but we managed that phase well, scored the goals and won. Every victory is decisive, it is important that we go game after game and try to win every game."
