Cristiano Ronaldo Hat-trick Leads Portugal To 3-3 Draw With Spain...


Portugal's Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in a Group B match against Spain on Friday, with a free kick two minutes from time bringing Portugal to a 3-3 draw after a lacklustre opening.

Spain defender Nacho Fernandez tripped Ronaldo to give away a penalty in the fourth minute which his Real Madrid team mate dispatched but Diego Costa levelled for Spain in the 24th with a blistering strike, displaying his notorious brute force as well as his remarkable skill to get past the Portugal defence.

Ronaldo, who became the first player to score in eight consecutive major international tournaments, delivered on the big occasion with his expertly taken set-piece to level for the Euro 2016 winners and inflict more pain on Spain in a chaotic week for the 2010 world champions.
