Euro 2016: Ronaldo Rescues Portugal, Iceland into Last 16

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to become the first player to score in four European Championships and rescue Portugal in a thrilling 3-3 draw that took them into the last 16 on Wednesday.

Euro debutants Iceland also set up a last-16 clash with England on Monday as substitute Ingvi Traustason's last-gasp winner secured a 2-1 win over Austria.

Portugal and Iceland join hosts France, Wales, Germany, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland, England, Poland, Spain, Slovakia, Northern Ireland and Hungary in the last 16.

The final two spots will be split between Belgium, the Republic of Ireland, Sweden and Turkey.

Ronaldo was making a record 17th appearance in the European Championship and twice rescued his side from an embarrassing early exit in Lyon as surprise package Hungary ensured their place at the top of Group F.

The Real Madrid star had earlier looked to be feeling the pressure when he threw a reporter's microphone into a lake when approached on a pre-match team walk.

However, after disappointing performances against Iceland and Austria, Ronaldo came good just in time to set up a meeting with Croatia in Lens on Saturday.

Zoltan Gera smashed Hungary into an early lead before Ronaldo slipped in a pass to Nani to equalise before half-time.

Hungary captain Balazs Dzsudzsak twice threatened to cause a massive upset by sending Ronaldo crashing out early in the second period.

Dzsudzsak's deflected free-kick put Hungary 2-1 up, but Ronaldo responded with a sumptuous backheel for his historic goal.

Just five minutes later another deflected Dzsudzsak effort restored Hungary's lead.

Yet Ronaldo was not to be denied as a towering header moved him to within one goal of equaling disgraced former UEFA president Michel Platini's record mark of nine goals in Euros finals.

Portugal seemed set for a meeting with old foes England, bringing back memories of penalty shootout wins for Ronaldo's men in Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006.

However, Traustason's strike at the death ensured Iceland their first ever win in a major finals and second place in the group and a date with England in Nice.

Jon Dadi Bodvarsson swept Iceland into an 18th-minute lead at the Stade de France, with Austria paying dearly for Aleksandar Dragovic's missed first-half penalty.

Substitute Alessandro Schoepf leveled for Austria on the hour, but Traustason's 94th-minute strike condemned Marcel Koller's side, highly-fancied to shine before the tournament, to a premature exit.

- Zlatan's farewell? -

With four points enough to ensure at least one of the four best third-placed finishes, Ireland need to beat Italy to seal their last-16 place in Lille in a match kicking off at 1900 GMT.

"It's a fairly lengthy evening. We know at the end of it we have to be in front and it's a case of being very, very strong to begin with," said Ireland boss Martin O'Neill.

Sweden captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic can match Ronaldo's achievement of scoring in four Euros with a goal in what could be his farewell to international football against Belgium in Nice.

Ibrahimovic, 34, announced on Tuesday he will retire from international duty at the end of the Euros.

Sweden must beat Belgium to make the last 16, whilst a point is enough for the Belgians.

"The last game with Sweden in the Euro will be my last game with Sweden. So I hope it won't be tomorrow," said Ibrahimovic.

Should Ireland and Sweden fail to win, Turkey will progress as the fourth best third-placed team.
