Cristiano Ronaldo became the top scorer in men\u2019s European Championship history as Portugal beat Hungary in a match under the Euro Cup 2020 in Budapest on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ronaldo converted an 87th-minute penalty for his 10th goal in the competition, overtaking France\u2019s Michel Platini on nine goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His 11th came only a few minutes later when he took the ball around goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi for Portugal\u2019s third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hungary had looked on course for an unlikely draw against the defending champion until it conceded three times later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deadlock was broken in the 84th minute when Raphael Guerreiro\u2019s shot with the outside of the foot took a massive deflection off defender Willi Orban to break Hungary\u2019s brave resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
World Cup holder France beat former champion Germany 1-0 in the other Group F game on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The result looked comprehensive, but Portugal had to work hard to defeat their opponents in front of the biggest attendance of the tournament so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 67,000-capacity Puskas Arena in Budapest is the only venue at Euro 2020 that will have full crowds and the fans helped create a fantastic, much-missed passionate atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the home supporters were nearly silenced in the fourth minute when Liverpool forward Diogo Jota had a chance, but saw his shot pushed away by Gulacsi when a pass to a wide-open Ronaldo may have been the better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ronaldo then had the final say in injury time as he showed great skill to round Gulacasi for his second and Portugal\u2019s third.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
