Portugal President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa does not want to see his country meet Brazil in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The former European champions secured their place in the last 16 with a 2-0 victory over Uruguay at Lusail Stadium on Monday.
After a goalless first half, Bruno Fernandes broke the deadlock in the 54th minute before tucking away the spot kick in the dying embers of the game to seal a comfortable for Fernando Santos' side.
"Despite wanting to see a Portugal-Brazil match in the [World Cup] final, I hope [Brazil] is not our opponent", said Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.
"I think maybe Bruno Fernandes deserves [the election as man of the field]. He scored a goal, hit the post and was very constant from the beginning to the end of the game. Diogo Costa defended very well, but Bruno Fernandes was from start to finish."
"The second was very good, everything went well, it's a fair result."
"I'm not an expert on this, but they all played very well," he added.
