Portugal registered a 3-3 draw against Hungary on Wednesday to earn a

Hungary went ahead again through Balazs Dzsudzsak in the 47th minute.
Ronaldo,
who struggled in the first two games, finally broke his Euro
2016 duck with a brilliant flick in the 55th minute to make it 2-2.
Dzsudzsak made it 3-2 for Hungary but Ronaldo once again came to
Portugal’s rescue with the final equaliser.
Portugal
came from behind on three occasions but it was only enough for third
place after Iceland scored a 94th-minute winner against Austria in Paris
for a 2-1 win.

That goal leaves Hungary topping Group F, while Portugal will
have to
make do with a clash with Croatia in Lens on Saturday night. Iceland
finished second and set up a round of 16 clash with England.
