Ronaldo broke records, Portugal started with a win

With the victory, Portugal began to defend its title at this year's European Championship - the current champions defeated Hungary 3:0 at the packed "Puskas Arena" in Budapest, and the triumph was more difficult than the result suggests.

Portugal attacked from the start, created chances, but for the first time shook the rival's net only in the 84th minute, when Rafael Guereiro, after an assist from Rafa Silva, beat Gulacci, who was excellent today. On the way to the goal, the ball caught Vili Orban and ended up in the net.

After that, it was time for Cristiano Ronaldo. The best player of Portugal in the first half missed a great opportunity, but at the end of the match he redeemed himself - first he scored a penalty in the 87th minute, after Orban brought down Rafa Silva, and then in the second minute of the referee's compensation after a great team action and another assists from Silva set the final score.

Hungary mostly defended, and the most dangerous was through the attacker Adam Shalay, whose shots were stopped by the goalkeeper of Portugal, Rui Patricio.

Apart from Portugal's victory, today's match will also be remembered for the many records broken by Cristiano Ronaldo. He became the player who played in the most European championships (5) and the only one who scored at least one goal in five championships. He broke Bastian Schweinsteiger's record for the number of matches in the European and world championships (39), and with two goals he became the footballer with the most goals in the European championships. Now they have 11, two more than Michel Platini.

With today's two goals, Ronaldo reached the figure of 106 goals in the national team jersey, three less than the world record holder Ali Daei.

Portugal will play Germany in the next round, Hungary will play France.
