Portugal 1-1 Iceland: Cristiano Ronaldo and Co fail to win first group fixture as Birkir Bjarnason cancels out Nani opener
When the defining moment of Cristiano Ronaldo’s night arrived, he really couldn’t have asked for better. A beautiful curled cross from Nani dropped perfectly for the Portugal captain, who had eased intelligently back from his marker to create space for a header from six yards.
Too much time? Perhaps. Too easy? Maybe.
Whatever the case, Ronaldo — perhaps the best header of the ball in European football — placed his late attempt straight at Iceland’s goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson and the chance to win this game was gone.
