Portugal 2-2 France: Didier Deschamps' side seal top spot in Group F as Portugal get through in third

Report as dramatic night ends with France sealing top spot in Group F; 2-2 draw also sees Portugal reach the last 16 as one of four best third-place finishers; Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema both hit doubles; France will face Switzerland in last 16, while Portugal will play Belgium

France and Portugal played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in Budapest as Didier Deschamps' side secured top spot in Group F, while Portugal still qualified for the last 16 as one of four best third-place finishers.

On a dramatic night at Euro 2020, former Real Madrid team-mates Cristiano Ronaldo (30) and Karim Benzema (45+2) converted controversial penalties to leave the two sides locked at 1-1 at half-time.

However, Benzema's second of the night (47) - given after VAR had adjudged him to be onside - sent Portugal bottom of the group and crashing out of the tournament for a short while, before Ronaldo converted his second penalty (60) - his fifth goal of the tournament and 109th international goal - to keep his side's Euro dreams alive.

Ronaldo equals world record

Cristiano Ronaldo's two goals against France took him to 109 international goals, equalling the world record held by Ali Daei of Iran.

Portugal, who occupied every single position in the group at certain times throughout the game, looked on course for a showdown with England at Wembley, but Germany's late equaliser against Hungary secured them second spot, meaning Fernando Santos' side will face Belgium in the last 16 on Sunday.
