Cristiano Ronaldo Portugal and Birkir Bjarnason

Samuel Petrequin: Iceland, which managed only four shots to Portugal 25, was second-best most of the Group F game and trailed to a first-half strike by Nani, according to The Toronto Star. But its players showed resilience throughout and took advantage of Portugal profligacy in front of goal. By Samuel Petrequin The Associated Press Tues., June 14, 2016 SAINT-ETIENNE, FRANCE—A goal from Birkir Bjarnason earned Iceland a shock 1-1 draw with Cristiano Ronaldo Portugal on Tuesday at the European Championship, the tiny Scandinavian nation first-ever match at a major tournament. Bjarnason slotted home the equalizer in the 50th minute with a curled volley at the far post against the run of the play, moments after Ronaldo missed a chance to make it 2-0 when he shot wide. We are to blame for that. We should have scored more goals, there is no secret about that, Portugal coach Fernando Santos said. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
