Just five minutes later, Goncalo Guedes got on the scoresheet with a fine effort in the 38th minute following yet another Silva assist. Cristiano Ronaldo could have scored a goal to add to his record of 117 international strikes in the 70th minute but saw his effort saved by Stanek.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo leading Portugal towards UEFA Nations League glory

Cristiano Ronaldo could take his Portuguese side to the knockout stages Some players might have issues with the UEFA Nations League given that it gives players more fixtures to handle during the calendar year. Belgium star Kevin De Bruyne recently stated that the Nations League was not an important campaign as seen in the : "For me, the Nations League is unimportant. We have to play those matches, but it's a kind of practice campaign. Everyone has had a very tough season. As soon as we are on the field, we do what we have to do. Then I want to win. Other than that, I don't have much to say about it." But it also gives teams the opportunity to experiment and play for something at stake instead of your standard international friendly. Portugal have performed admirably this campaign, having conceded just one goal since the Spain draw. Fernando Santos' side have scored eight goals thus far and are proving why many have them among the favorites to win the World Cup later this year. They have positioned themselves to be in the running for the Nations League as they now sit two points clear of Spain. Next up for Selecao das Quinas is a trip to the Stade de Geneve to face Switzerland, who they destroyed in 4-0 in the home fixture. They will be looking to continue their unbeaten run and come closer to qualifying for the Nations League knockout rounds next summer.
