Joao Felix scored the only goal in Portugal’s opening UEFA Nations League match, securing a 1-0 home victory over Wales. The result came despite Cristiano Ronaldo failing to score, according to Punch Nigeria’s report.

Joao Felix scored the only goal as Portugal began its UEFA Nations League campaign with a 1-0 home victory over Wales, Punch Nigeria reported. Felix’s goal was enough to settle the match and give Portugal all three points in its opening fixture. The result came despite Cristiano Ronaldo failing to score.

Punch described the Portugal captain as having misfired during the match. Portugal therefore opened its Nations League campaign with a win, while Wales left the fixture without a goal. The supplied report did not provide further details about when Felix scored, the match venue beyond Portugal’s home status, or Wales’s chances.
