Bruno Fernandes has identified Portugal’s negative second-half approach during its 1–0 defeat to Spain as the reason for its World Cup exit on Monday.
Portugal was sent packing after losing to its Iberian neighbors in the round of 16, Mikel Merino scoring the game’s sole goal in the 91st minute. The result means Portugal has failed to go beyond the round of 16 in four of the last five World Cups.
