Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, guided Portugal to an incredible 5-2 victory over Sweden on Thursday night, playing the full 90 minutes.

The friendly match was held at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques as the European national teams prepared for the summer tournament, Euro 2024.

Fernandes started the match in a midfield three alongside Joao Palhinha of Fulham, Matheus Nunes of Manchester City.

United’s captain both assisted and scored.

Nelson Semedo set him up for an easy tap-in into the back of an empty net after the goaltender was already outnumbered and outplayed.

Just before halftime, Fernandes’ goal gave the Selecao a three-goal lead.

After the interval, he then registered an assist for Bruma’s goal in the 57th minute.

The playmaker had 73 total touches of the ball during the time he was on the pitch for his national side. He attempted to find his teammates with 59 passes and was successful 49 times, managing a pass accuracy of 83%. Two of his passes were key passes.

Fernandes tried to ping six long balls and deliver four crosses. He found his intended target with three of his long ball attempts. Just one of his crosses was successful.

He created one big chance.

The 29-year-old completed the one dribble he embarked on. He delved into five ground duels and came out on top on three occasions.

He put in one clearance and made twice as many tackles.

Fernandes will undoubtedly be looking to pick up where he left off when Portugal face off against Slovenia on Tuesday in yet another friendly encounter.
