When Diogo Jota steps onto the football field, magic often follows. Tonight, during Portugal’s friendly against the Republic of Ireland, the Liverpool forward made an immediate impact after coming on at half-time.
Despite being denied a penalty after a VAR review, the 27-year-old quickly channeled his frustration into brilliance. Jota delivered a sensational assist for Cristiano Ronaldo’s second goal of the match.
At the one-hour mark in Aveiro, Jota sped past Will Smallbone and Dara O’Shea, then delivered a stunning pass with the outside of his boot. The ball found Ronaldo, who expertly slotted it past Caoimhin Kelleher, extending Portugal’s lead to 3-0.
Defenders from Turkey, Czechia, and Georgia should take note – Liverpool’s number 20 is in top form heading into Euro 2024!
