Portugal kick started their Euro 2016 campaign against Iceland and were considered favorites to earn all three points.
However, the Portuguese side could only earn a single point from the game. Captain and Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo could not hide his frustration and slammed Iceland’s small mentality (ESPN).
Iceland were well aware of Portugal’s attacking strength and decided to park the bus. However, Portugal still managed to open the scoring thanks to former Man United star Luis Nani.
Andre Gomes brilliantly set up the speedy winger for the opening goal.
Unfortunately, Fernando Santos’ side failed to hold onto the lead and Iceland managed to equalize through Bjarnason.
The FC Basel midfielder found himself in acres of space in the six yard box due to woeful defending from Portugal’s back line and had all the time in the world to slot the ball in the net.
The Portuguese side had the game in control and have only got themselves to blame for dropping points against Iceland.
Nani has been linked with a return to Old Trafford this summer but the latest reports suggest that he is heading towards Inter Milan (One World Sports)
The Red Devils supporters were absolutely delighted to see Nani scoring and reacted on twitter with mainly one message. Here are a few tweets provided below.
