Euro 2020: Ronaldo breaks record as Portugal cruise past Hungary
Al Jazeera
Ronaldo netted a double to become the European Championship’s all-time leading scorer.
Cristiano Ronaldo became the all-time top scorer at the European Championships after two goals in the final minutes helped holders Portugal beat Hungary 3-0 in their Group F opener on Tuesday. Ronaldo now has 11 goals in the competition, taking sole possession of the record he previously shared with France’s Michel Platini on nine. Portugal broke the deadlock in a game they dominated with a Ronaldo penalty. A second effort added to the final score, which was harsh on Hungary, who worked hard in front of a packed Puskas Arena in Budapest – the only stadium to be filled to capacity at the Euros due to the coronavirus pandemic.More Related News
