Frustration for Cristiano Ronaldo as he misses a penalty in the key moment of the game which could have earned Portugal maximum points against Austria as it ended 0-0.
However the real Madrid talisman set a new Portuguese record by earning 128 caps for his country but failed to score as he missed the chances that came his way all through the match. It is now a must win for Portugal in their last game against Hungary if they are to remain at the ongoing European championship and for their captain, he is still three goal short of breaking the all time scoring record at the tournament. Also, the second round of games got underway in Group F as Iceland were agonizingly denied a historic win in their first tournament apperance by Hungary. Gylfi Sigurdsson got the opener in the 40th minute of the match from a penalty kick to put Iceland ahead in the first half. With two minutes of regulation time remaining Hungary got the equalizer from an own-goal thanks to Birkir Saevarsson which gave Hungary a share of the spoils. It ended 1-1.
Hungary will only need a draw against Portugal in their last match but it is a must win for Iceland if they are to remain in Euro 2016. In the kick off of the day, Belgium had their biggest win in a major competition since 197o as they pummeled the Republic of Ireland in their second Group D match of Euro 2016. The match did not produce any goal until three minutes into the re-start of the second half when Romelu Lukaku put his side ahead. Axel Witsel’s header followed suit 14 minutes later and Romelu Lukaku completed his brace to give Belgium the 3-0 deserved win.
The race for qualification is still wide open for teams in Group E as Belgium who are now on three points have the better advantage over Sweden and Ireland who share one point each with Italy already through to the next round of of the competition.
