• Bruno Fernandes put in a masterclass performance for Portugal
• He bagged a brace and an assist to help Roberto Martinez's men win against Bosnia
• But he was at fault for missing a gilt-edge chance

Bruno Fernandes starred in Portugal's comprehensive victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina as the Selecao maintained their stranglehold at the summit of Group J in their Euro 2024 Qualifiers.

The Manchester United attacker netted a brace to help Roberto Martinez's men seal a three-nil win, keeping their unbeaten start to the Qualifiers intact.

As reported by GOAL, Fernandes set up Bernardo Silva with a silky pass for the game's opener before being on the receiving end of a Ruben Neves assist to stretch Portugal's lead.

He put the icing on the cake in stoppage time, scoring his second of the game and Portugal's third. But he could have netted a hat trick if he had been a little decisive in front of the goal.

Unfortunately, his effort missed the goal by a whisker, denying Cristiano the assist his acrobatic pass deserved.
