Man Utd star Bruno Fernandes pays Wales ultimate compliment as Portugal edge win

Portugal secured a 1-0 victory over Wales at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in their UEFA Nations League opener. Joao Felix scored the decisive goal with a deflected first-half strike to settle the contest in Lisbon. Wales nearly equalized in the second half when Brennan Johnson struck the crossbar before Portugal cleared a goalmouth scramble off the line.

Following the match, Portugal captain Bruno Fernandes praised Craig Bellamy's squad, stating he was not surprised by Wales' strong performance due to their high Premier League quality. Wales played without several key players including Harry Wilson, Joe Rodon, and Karl Darlow, but pushed Portugal throughout before their upcoming match against Denmark.
