Israel 3 Portugal 3 - Cristiano Ronaldo is well marshaled


Israel 3 Portugal 3 - Cristiano Ronaldo is well marshaled

Israel managed to hold Portugal in their Group F qualifying game today in a 3-3 draw where Cristiano Ronaldo found it hard to shine.

Portugal went ahead early on after Bruno Alves rose to head home a corner for the visitors. Israel then scored two goals before half time to turn the match around.

Cristiano Ronaldo was not playing his usual free-flowing football and Israel gained confidence from Ronaldo's silence.

The Israelis made it 3-1 in the 70th minute in what seemed like a major upset.

Portugal did well to hit back through strikes from Helder Postiga and Fabio Coentrao, who netted in injury time.
