Hungary and Portugal treated onlookers at Euro 2016 to an exciting and high-octane six-goal thriller, as both sides settled for a 3-3 draw on Wednesday at the Stade des Lumieres.
Earlier in the day, Ronaldo had tossed a reporters’ microphone into a lake, a forthright way to signal that he was in no mood for distractions.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and equalized on separate occasions for the Portuguese, while Balazs Dzsudzsak matched the Real Madrid superstar with a brace of his own to emerge as the Magyars’ hero.
Goals for the game were as follows; 1-0, min. 19 (Gera) y 1-1, min. 42 (Nani), 2-1, min. 46 (Dzsudzsak), 2-2, min. 49 (Ronaldo), 3-2, min. 55 (Dzsudzask) y 3-3, min. 61 (Ronaldo)
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 match against Croatia.
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.
