Joao Felix also had a brilliant night. He scored with a header early on and later ended the game in style with a stunning scorpion kick. Joao Cancelo also put his name on the scoresheet before half-time.

This game was special for Portugal, as they played in memory of their teammate Diogo Jota, who recently passed away.

Ronaldo was substituted after an hour, but by then he had already made sure the spotlight was on him, proving once more why he’s one of the greatest players ever.
