Both the goals from Ronaldo came in the form of penalties.   



Marvellous Ronaldo, who is making his fifth Euro apperance, is also the tournament's leading scorer, a record which he notched after scoring a brace in Portugal's 3-0 win over Hungary earlier in the campaign. The Portugal captain then surpassed France legend Michel Platini and now has 12 goals in the continental championship. 


Ronaldo came to Portugal’s aid and sent the defending champions into the last 16 of the Euro 2020 in a frantic conclusion to Group F on Wednesday (June 23).


After playing a 2-2 draw in their final group fixture, Portugal finished on four points in third place and can now prepare for a last-16 clash against Belgium in Seville.
