Cristiano Ronaldo Provides Record Assist as Portugal Clinch 3-0 Win over Turkey at UEFA Euro 2024, Enter Pre-Quarterfinals By Topping Group

Dortmund (Germany), Jun 22: There were no goals, one assist and no less than four selfie-pursuing field invaders for Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal's 3-0 win over Turkey that secured a spot in the European Championship round of 16 on Saturday. Ronaldo was the center of attention as always at Westfalenstadion but not how he might have expected. Belgium 2-0 Romania, UEFA Euro 2024: Kevin De Bruyne, Youri Tielemans on Target to Keep Red Devils in Hunt For Pre-Quarterfinals.

The five-time world player of the year set up the third goal by Bruno Fernandes with an unselfish pass when he could easily have attempted a shot after being played clean through. Then there was chaos as three fans got on the field at different times in the second half and attempted selfies with Ronaldo. He accepted the first but looked unhappy at the other two.

Another phone-waving supporter, wearing a Portugal jersey, got to Ronaldo moments after the final whistle and security had to hold back another person attempting to confront one of the most famous sports stars in the world as he walked off the field with his teammates. Ronaldo might be more unhappy at failing to score against a Turkey team that was its own worst enemy at times. Young Fan Invades Pitch, Clicks Selfie With Cristiano Ronaldo During Turkey vs Portugal UEFA Euro 2024 Match; Video Goes Viral.

Not least in the 28th minute when, trailing 1-0 to Bernardo Silva's strike seven minutes earlier, Turkey center back Samet Akaydin delivered a back-pass that rolled to the side of his goalkeeper and straight into the net. Portugal backed up its opening 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic and has qualified with a match to spare from Group F.
