Ronaldo did play his part in keeping Portugal in the tie, as he registered the 136th goal of his record-shattering international career, but only after seeing a tame penalty saved as he rolled the ball into the arms of Denmark keeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Portugal eventually forced extra-time courtesy of an 86th-minute effort from Francisco Trincao, with Ronaldo being replaced in stoppage-time despite the final outcome yet to be determined. He was forced to watch on from the bench as Trincao and Goncalo Ramos netted in extra time.
Ronaldo’s post-match reaction on social media was: "What a night". He had said prior to a ball being kicked that he would happily step aside if it meant Portugal had a better chance of winning, and that is how events played out at Estadio Jose Alvalade.
