Chronicle Hungary – Portugal: Portugal thrashes Hungary with a record-breaking Cristiano | Eurocup

Forceful and late victory for Portugal against Hungary (0-3). The reigning champion exhibits her punch in the final minutes in her debut at Euro 2020, with a goal from Guerreiro and a double for Cristiano Ronaldo’s history. The group of death starts with a thrashing of the Portuguese, against a team that did not deserve such punishment.

The Hungarian goalkeeper, Gulacsi, contained the onslaught of Fernando Santos’ men until the 84th minute. Until then, the Portuguese could not surpass an orderly selection, which brushed the ground. In the end, the individualities were imposed in a gray premiere in sensations of the Portuguese, but from which they take the first three points thanks to the final arreón, with a record included by Cristiano, top scorer in the final stages of the Euro with 11 goals and unique to play and score in five editions.

The absolute dominator of continental football in recent years began her way in this Euro 2020. Reigning champions of Europe and the League of Nations, the Portuguese came out with a team capable of scaring a full stadium to the brim. The pandemic seems to have been left behind in Hungary, with Budapest being the only venue where UEFA has made it possible to fill the capacity one hundred percent.

Fernando Santos came out with everything he had. Rui Patricio kept the goal, escorted by Rubén Dias and the incombustible Pepe, with Semedo and Guerreiro on the sides. Danilo Pereira, William Carvalho and Bruno Fernandes made up the midfield. Above, the Portuguese potential was led by Cristiano Ronaldo , accompanied by Bernardo Silva and Diogo Jota .

Despite the noise coming from the 67,000 fans present at the Puskas Arena, Portugal went for it. He did not want to speculate the champion in his debut against a Hungary that, without its star Szoboszlai, was limited to trying to cut the game based on fouls. A harshness allowed by Turkish referee Çakir, which sparked early outrage from the Portuguese.

The harassment carried out by the Portuguese team was constant, but they did not have the stellar appearance of Gulacsi. The goal eclipsed the Portuguese offensive potential from the first moment, avoiding until the end a victory for the champion, which seemed sung. He was tested from the start and he responded at all times. Jota twice, Cristiano, Pepe and Bernardo Silva tried to overtake him, but there was always a saving hand to avoid the goal.

The clearest of the meeting, yes, did not need his appearance. Cristiano Ronaldo met the last of the first half, a clamorous one that the star does not usually miss, but sent it over the crossbar. The former Real Madrid player only had to push a cross from Bruno Fernandes who failed to finish off Bernardo at the near post. The failure of his partner was not expected and the one who ended up making a mistake was him.

Fright, victory and Cristiano’s record

Already in the second half, he slowed down, causing Hungary to begin to appear. Until then, only Szalai had put Rui Patricio to the test, with a header after the launch of a free-kick that he himself provoked. It did not change the trajectory enough to disturb the goalkeeper.

Except for two sporadic occasions by Pepe and Bruno Fernandes, which were repelled by Gulacsi, the Magyars hardly suffered. The premises grew and Attila Szalai warned with an arrival from behind to the front, but his shot ended up in the hands of Rui Patricio. The other Szalai -the striker, captain and former of Castilla- tried again, before an action that unleashed euphoria in the stands for seconds. Schon, who had just entered, entered the race in the area and hit the strain of the post, making the goal that gave them the victory in the 80 ‘. However, the assistant had his flag raised and the VAR confirmed the offside.

Portugal was missing, suffering against a team that, as it did in Euro 2016, was making them more uncomfortable. It seemed that they missed two fundamental points to face this group of death, when the goals came. Guerreiro advanced the champion in 84 ‘, with a fortuitous shot in the front, which bounced off a player and threw the hitherto unbeatable Gulacsi off the track.

The tranquility would come as soon as the center was removed. The Portuguese stole, Rafa Silva planted himself in the area and Orbán gave him a penalty. It would be launched, of course, by Cristiano Ronaldo, who was about to make history. From 11 meters, the top scorer in the history of European football also became the top scorer in the final stages of the European Cups. He was equal to nine goals with Platini, but in his fifth participation in the competition, he managed to reach ten.

In the discount, CR7 left a goal to remember. Two walls performed with Rafa Silva, who from the time he entered was decisive, to get into the kitchen, before dribbling Gulacsi and putting his signature on the match again. Hard punishment for a Hungary that resisted with everything and was six minutes from leaving with a prize.
