Portugal beats Ireland in Euros warmup with Ronaldo scoring twice

Cristiano Ronaldo netted two goals, leading Portugal to a 3-0 victory over Ireland on Tuesday in their final warm-up match before Roberto Martinez’s squad heads to the European Championship in Germany.

The 39-year-old Ronaldo’s second-half brace came after Joao Felix opened the scoring at Aveiro Municipal Stadium, located south of Porto.

Next Tuesday, Portugal will face the Czech Republic in Leipzig. The team will also compete against Turkey and Georgia in Group F.

Ronaldo, who missed last week’s friendlies against Finland and Croatia, hit the post with a free kick in the 22nd minute shortly after Felix’s goal. He then found the net in the 50th and 60th minutes.
