Despite dominating much of the contest, Portugal couldn't score with the best chance of the game falling to the superstar after being felled in the 18-yard box crashing the ensuing penalty off the post. The match was Ronaldo’s 128th appearance for Portugal since making his debut– a new record for the side – overtaking Figo and failing to become the first ever player to net at four consecutive European Championships.“Obviously it was a goal to be the most capped international player, and also to be the national team’s top scorer,” Ronaldo is quoted by Sky Sports as saying after the match.
“But I’m a bit sad, because this wasn’t the way I wanted to break this record.
“We had a lot of chances and we did well, but we weren’t able to finish. I also missed some chances – a penalty and some other chances. But that’s part of football.”
It leaves Portugal with 2 points from two games making the clash against Hungary a winner takes all affair.
