Ronaldo scored two goals and became the best scorer in European Championship history.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Cristiano Ronaldo) helped the Portuguese holder defeat Hungary 3-0 in the opening game of Group F on Tuesday, and scored two goals in the final minutes to become the best scorer in European Championship history.
Ronaldo now has 11 goals in the game, excluding the 9 goals he previously shared with French player Michel Platini.
Portugal broke the deadlock in a game, they dominated by Ronaldo’s penalty. The second effort increased the final score, which was harsh for Hungary. They worked hard in front of the crowded Puskas Arena in Budapest-the only stadium in the European Cup that was full due to the coronavirus pandemic.
After Willie Orban fouled Rafa Silva in the penalty area, Ronaldo wrote his name on the record book and scored on the spot.

The Portuguese superstar then scored his 106th goal for Portugal and narrowed the gap with the Iranian Ali Daei’s record (109) as the best international scorer of all time.
“Winning is very important, this is a difficult game,” Ronaldo said. “I thank the team for helping me score two goals and become the best player of the game. Now we must move on.”
After world champion France defeated Germany 1-0, Portugal now leads Group F or the so-called “Death Group” with a goal difference.
In the 20th minute, Mats Hummels’ own goal allowed Didier Deschamps’ team to defeat the seemingly sluggish German team for the first time in the European Cup.
Statistics show that the French team’s possession rate is just over 40% and only four shots, but Deschamps said they are more calm than Joachim Low’s team.
“I won’t say that we did dominate them because we played against a good team in Germany and they caused us trouble,” Deschamps said.
“They have a lot of possession, more than us. We defended very well. This is a high-level game where the two Titans face each other.”
The French team had two goals in the second half to be ruled out of offside.
Kylian Mbappe shot a curling shot from the far post halfway through the half, then set another for Karim Benzema late in the game.
Since losing to Germany in the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup, Benzema is playing his first game for the French team.
Mbappé also had a penalty appeal between offside goals-when the 22-year-old Frenchman could have scored, Hummels had perfectly grasped his tackle timing.
