Sport: Ronaldo’s brace saves Portugal, Iceland to face England in the next round

Cristiano Ronaldo broke his Euro 2016 duck as Portugal drew 3-3 with Group F winners Hungary to secure their passage through to the last 16. Iceland won the group and will now meet England in the second round of the competition.
Portugal came from behind three times in a breathless tie in Lyon and progress as one of the four best third-placed teams.
Hungary have been one of the surprise packages of the tournament, with a win over Austria and draw with Iceland guaranteeing their progress prior to this match.
Coach Bernd Storck made five changes to his side but they certainly did not rest on their laurels and took the lead in the 19th minute through one of the goals of the tournament from Zoltan Gera.
Nani levelled matters just before half-time and a crazy 17-minute spell after the break saw Hungary captain Balazs Dzsudzsak twice put them back into the lead only for Ronaldo to cancel it out both times.
The 31-year-old Ronaldo- who set another record by playing in his 17th match at European Championship finals, surpassing Lilian Thuram and Edwin van der Sar – produced a typically sublime piece of skill as he met Joao Mario’s cross with a back flick to draw the teams level.
But five minutes later Hungary scored again, and it was another deflected strike from Dzsudzsa
