Euro 2016: Watch The Highlight of Hungary Vs Portugal Thrilling Game
Cristiano Ronaldo scored two trademark brilliant goals Wednesday to go into European Championship history and rescue Portugal in a 3-3 draw that took them into the last 16.The Real Madrid ace became the first player to score at four European championship finals and his 17th match in a Euro tournament was also a record.
The 31-year-old opened his account in style with a deft backheel flick on 50 minutes, then a bullet header 12 minutes later to twice equalise at the Stade de Lyon.
The result left Hungary on top of Group F. Portugal squeezed through as one of the best third-place finishers, but now face a tough tie against Croatia.
"It was an insane match," said man-of-the-match Ronaldo.
"We had to chase down the match, it was very hot, but the main goal was to qualify.
"I can’t say I’m not happy, these are good records, but the priority was to make it through to the 16," Ronaldo added.
Following their draws with Iceland and Austria, Portugal's captain had been feeling the pressure.
He threw a TV reporter's microphone in a lake on the morning of the game in Lyon.
But he delivered when it mattered as Portugal equalised three times in a topsy-turvy match.
