Ronaldo now has 11 goals, taking sole possession of the record.

Cristiano Ronaldo became the all-time top scorer at the European Championships after two goals in the final minutes helped title holders Portugal beat Hungary 3-0 in their Group F opener on Tuesday.

Ronaldo now has 11 goals, taking sole possession of the record he previously shared with France's Michel Platini on nine.

Portugal finally broke the deadlock in a game they dominated thanks to Raphael Guerreiro six minutes from time just after Hungary had a goal ruled out for offside.

A Ronaldo penalty and a second effort added to the final score which was harsh on Hungary, who worked hard in front of a packed Puskas Area in Budapest - the only stadium to be filled to capacity at the Euros due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The other Group F match between world champions France and Germany is later on Tuesday.
