Portugal sealed a Nations League quarter-final berth after a Cristiano Ronaldo double with a penalty and an overhead kick helped them hammer visiting Poland 5-1 in Group A1 on Friday.
Rafael Leao broke the deadlock just before the hour with a header before Ronaldo doubled the lead from the spot in the 72nd minute with a confident strike down the middle of the goal.
The hosts then scored three goals in eight minutes through Bruno Fernandes, Pedro Neto and Ronaldos clever strike before Dominik Marczuk got a consolation for Poland in the 88th.
The first half was very bad for what we wanted to do, we lost focus and got frustrated. But the second half was the best Ive seen, said Portugal coach Roberto Martinez.
Weve changed the mentality and increased the intensity and mutual support. We didnt let Poland play.
