Bruno Fernandes is the recipient of well-earned praise from fans and experts around the world for his outstanding performances for Portugal at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The Selecao sealed a comfortable 2-1 victory over a star-studded Uruguayan team to progress to the round of 16.

The Manchester United midfielder opened the scoring in the 54th minute with Portugal’s first shot on target before doubling his tally in added time with a well-taken penalty after Jose Gimenez was deemed to have handled the ball in his own penalty area.

His influence in Fernando Santos’ squad has led them to back-to-back wins in Qatar, and fans can’t stop applauding him.

In an effort to retain their flawless start to the competition, Fernandes and Portugal will take on South Korea in their last group-stage matchup on Friday at the Education City Stadium.
