United star’s hat-trick saves the day as Ronaldo sits out
Bruno Fernandes struck a stunning hat-trick as Portugal crushed Armenia 9-1 to seal top spot in Group F. Cristiano Ronaldo missed out after his red card against Ireland, but Fernandes showed there’s still plenty of magic—like a magician pulling goals instead of rabbits from his boots.
Manager Roberto Martinez praised the team’s resilience, while Bruno insisted Ronaldo remains vital for the Selecao. Portugal now march confidently toward the World Cup, with their captain’s fate awaiting a disciplinary decision.
