Cristiano Ronaldo’s two penalties saw Portugal book their place in the last-16 of Euro 2020 as his Portugal side battled to a 2-2 draw against France in Budapest.
With Hungary beating Germany for large parts of their Munich clash, Portugal appeared to be staring elimination in the face as two goals from Karim Benzema either side of half time put the world champions 2-1 up.
But Ronaldo and co were given a lifeline as Jules Kounde handballed the star man’s cross from the left. Ronaldo, who had smashed in a spot-kick on 30 minutes, made no mistake again as he levelled the scores.
The strike also saw him equal Ali Daei’s all-time international goal record of 109.
Portugal finished third in Group F, with France coming top of the Group of Death.
Germany’s 2-2 draw against Hungary saw them come second and set up a last-16 tie with England at Wembley on Tuesday.
