Ukraine 2-1 Portugal: CR700 reaches milestone while hosts qualify for Euro 2020

Share This
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 700th career goal but it was not enough as Ukraine beat Portugal 2-1 in Kiev to book a place in the Euro 2020 finals, leaving their opponents with work to do if they are to qualify.
First-half strikes from Roman Yaremchuk and Andriy Yarmolenko earned Ukraine a 2-1 win over Portugal and a place at Euro 2020 while Cristiano Ronaldo scores landmark 700th goal in career.


The hosts needed just a point in Monday's qualifier to secure a top-two finish in Group B, but picked up all three as they inflicted a first defeat in 14 games on the reigning European champions.

First-half strikes from Roman Yaremchuk and Andriy Yarmolenko earned victory for Ukraine, who held on with 10 men after Taras Stepanenko was shown a second yellow card for handling the ball inside the box.

Ronaldo scored the resulting penalty 72 minutes in to bring up his personal landmark, but Portugal could not find a leveller and may now need victories over Lithuania and Luxembourg in their final two matches to hold off third-placed Serbia.
