Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes scored a beautiful goal in the 54th minute to level the match at one. Bruno’s goal marked his 30th birthday in style. He has 22 goal contributions in 18 matches for Portugal.
Cristiano Ronaldo, coming off his 900th career goal, scored in the 88th minute to complete the comeback for Os Navegadores.
Portugal finishes this round of Nations League matches at the top of Group A1 with six points.
James Scanlon Nets First International Goal for Gibraltar
