A brace by Bruno Fernandes and a goal each by Goncalo Ramos and Joao Mario condemned the Eagles to a heavy and embarrassing defeat.

Speaking to journalist Osasu Obayiuwana, the ex-Super Eagles coach Rohr said via Brila Fm:

"I watched the game against Portugal in Lisbon. I didn't recognize my players at all. I wasn't happy with how they played and the result.

"I never lost a match 4-0 to any team during my five years as coach."
