Impact Fernandes was tasked with pulling the strings in the Portuguese midfield Tuesday as they defeated Czechia 2-1. He led Portugal with eight attempted crosses (zero accurate) and also contributed one interception defensively. Fernandes is likely to find himself in a similar role Saturday when Portugal play Turkey in their second match of the Group Stage, and he'll look to conjure the passing form that saw him supply 10 assists over 41 starting appearances in all competitions for Manchester United during the 2023 - 2024 campaign.
