– Security is so bad when it is possible to get onto the pitch so easily, said news’s football expert Kristoffer Løkberg. Then just the fourth spectator had passed the guards at the stadium in Dortmund. – It is a scandal, quite simply. YELLOW VESTS: There were apparently many guards standing ready to stop the track stormers.

I don’t know how they get there, there are so many guards, says Dixon on the broadcast to ITV1. – We just have to draw a line that people should not enter that field. When there are five, it says something about the control they have in Germany. It is a disaster, says Løkberg to news after the match. Several of the trailblazers had a goal in mind. They wanted a selfie with Ronaldo. During the first pitch storming, Ronaldo looked seemingly cheerful. As more and more people rushed away, his patience stopped, and he appeared cursed. RUN FOR LIFE: The TV viewers did not get to see the five track stormers who had to fight the guards. Photo: Darko Vojinovic / AP – It was a match that will be remembered for a selfless Ronaldo, but also for five strikers and a security that is so weak that no words can even describe it, said news’s football commentator Patrick Rowlands. news has contacted Uefa about the criticism of security at the stadium, but has not yet received a reply. The Banestorming’s surprising goal-scoring was not the only thing in the match that caused experts to widen their eyes. Ronaldo also made a sensational choice. – He shows greatness here Ronaldo. It took so long that we had time to think before that pass came, said Løkberg. Early in the second half, Ronaldo came through alone with Bruno Fernandes. When everyone thought he was going to shoot himself, he instead unselfishly chose to play Fernandes free who could easily make the match 3-0 for Portugal. EASY SCORING: Bruno Fernandes had little difficulty in converting the assist from Ronaldo. It was his first championship goal. Photo: Michael Probst / AP The choice surprised the experts. Had Ronaldo scored himself, he would have passed Austrian Ivica Vastić as the EC’s oldest goalscorer of all time. – Who is he No. 7 in Portugal, and where has he done to Cristiano Ronaldo? writes Kasper Wikestad on X. – The most unlikely assist ever, writes the BBC in its live coverage of the match. With the goal-assisting pass, Ronaldo instead equaled the record of Czech Karel Poborský, with 8 goal assists in the EC. Ellevilt own goal In the first half, it was also a particularly sensational situation. Portugal’s second goal was a rare own goal. – What on earth are you doing here then, exclaimed commentator Rowlands. Midfielder Samet Akaydin apparently had good control of the ball and chose a support pass to his own goalkeeper. When he missed by a meter, Turkey had to watch the ball roll into the goal in horror. Turkey defender Celik’s attempt to reach the ball just didn’t go. – It is one of the wildest things I have seen, it is absolutely catastrophic, said news’s football expert Kristoffer Løkberg. DESPERATE: Turkey’s goalkeeper Altay Bayindir clung to the hope that the ball had not crossed the goal line.

Cancelo tried to pass Ronaldo in the rear, but the Portuguese captain stopped the run. – You shouldn’t play back against the goal like that, says expert at TV 2, Solveig Gulbrandsen. The goal was the sixth own goal during the EC. The tournament record is 11 own goals from the last EC in 2021. This is also noted by Viaplay’s football expert Lars Tjernås. – Selvmål is the championship’s best player so far, he writes on X. Photo: Screen dump X High noise level from the fans At the beginning of the match, the enormous noise in the stadium was discussed. – This is the worst noise level I have ever commented under, says TV2’s football commentator Morten Langli. DISAPPOINTMENT: Dejected Turkey fans had to see their team go off without a point. Photo: Themba Hadebe / AP For the match, which was played in Dortmund, thousands of visiting Turkey fans made what experts described as a home field advantage for the Turks. However, after Portugal’s scores, the commitment of the Turks calmed down considerably. There are whistles from the Turkish supporters, who are definitely outnumbered here in Dortmund, says news’s football commentator Patrick Rowlands. Portugal has six points and with the win advances to the round of 16. Turkey is also in good shape after victory in the first game. Earlier today, Georgia and the Czech Republic played to a draw in the same group. Published 22.06.2024, at 19.54 Updated 22.06.2024, at 20.54
