Portugal 1-1 Iceland

Iceland earned a memorable point on their European Championship debut, holding Portugal to a draw in Group F.

Gylfi Sigurdsson almost put Iceland in front early on but his angled shot and follow-up were both saved.

Nani slotted in for Portugal but Iceland worked a shock equaliser when Birkir Bjarnason volleyed home.

Cristiano Ronaldo had a header saved for an unconvincing Portugal, while Iceland went close late on when Alfred Finnbogason had a shot saved.

Off-night for Ronaldo

Ronaldo had 10 shots, including those blocked, but only one was on target

Ronaldo came into the tournament fresh from scoring the winning penalty for Real Madrid in their Champions League final shootout victory over Atletico Madrid as he added another club trophy to a long list.

Honours on the international stage have eluded him, however, and unless the forward can replicate his club scoring achievements for his country that is likely to continue.

Ronaldo, who won his 127th cap and equalled the Portuguese record set by Luis Figo, showed a glimpse of his quick feet to get in a precise cross for Nani, whose six-yard header was saved.

But he could only kick fresh air from 10 yards out as he failed to make contact with a long Pepe pass, then sent a 20-yard half-volley wide and had his late header saved as he endured a frustrating evening in Saint-Etienne.

Iceland enjoy the big stage

Iceland are the smallest nation ever to reach a European Championship finals, with a population of approximately 330,000, and have no professional clubs.

However, they beat the Netherlands twice on the way to qualifying for the tournament in France and added another chapter to their fairytale on their major tournament debut.

Goalkeeper Hannes Thor Halldorsson had more touches than any other Iceland player in the first half (30) but his side kept Portugal within reach.

Their efforts paid off when Bjarnason caught right-back Vieirinha out of position to score from Johann Gudmundsson's cross to the far post.

And, despite Iceland having just 27.7% of possession overall, they gave Portugal a couple of further scares before the final whistle.

"Honesty, endeavour - that's what Iceland are all about," said BBC Radio 5 live pundit and former England international Chris Waddle.

"They were getting a football lesson in the first half but they never threw in the towel. They've got their rewards, and their fans are going absolutely wild."

Iceland had the lowest possession of any side in the first round of group matches at Euro 2016

Are Portugal a one-man team?

On the basis of this game, the answer would have to be yes.

The move for the first goal did not involve Ronaldo and came courtesy of quick passing down the right before Andre Gomes put in a low cross for Nani to finish.

However, with Ronaldo having a quiet night by his standards, no other Portugal player stepped up to make the difference.

They also conceded an equaliser that suggests vulnerabilities in defence they will have to resolve if they want to win a major tournament for the first time.

Man of the match - Iceland team

Iceland keeper Hannes Thor Halldorsson made eight saves in the match, the most of any player at the Euros in a game since Joe Hart v Italy in 2012

What they said

Portugal boss Fernando Santos: "We should've scored more goals: that's no secret. There's always difficulties in the first game. I think we'll bounce back to play two great matches."

Iceland joint manager Heimir Hallgrimsson: "It's down to teamwork. You can't put one player to stop a guy like Ronaldo. It has to be a team effort, closing the areas.

"There were a lot of players responsible for Ronaldo tonight. We did a really good job - well done the lads."
