Hungary

Gabor Kiraly: To be honest the veteran looked a bit dodgy throughout. Good dedication to those tracksuit bottoms though. 5

Adam Lang: Did fairly well out of his normal position. 6

Richard Guzmics: Picked up an early yellow but helped stifle Ronaldo at times. 6

Roland Juhasz: Failed to really deal with the threat of Ronaldo in air. 5

Mihaly Korhut: Another one troubled by Ronaldo. 5

Zoltan Gera: Scored opener but was subbed at half time. 6

Adam Pinter: Ensured there would be no Homecoming for Hungary with a solid midfield performance. 6

Balazs Dzsudzsak: Two goals in the game and was at the heart of everything, nearly inspired a famous win. 9

Akos Elek: Always lively on the counter as Portugal often looked vulnerable. 7

Gergo Lovrencsics: Quieter but occasionally troubled his opposite man. 6

Adam Szalai: Subbed midway through second half, but was a lively runner on the counter and a nuisance for the Portuguese defence. 6

Portugal

Rui Patricio: Unfortunate to be beaten twice by deflected shots. 6

Vieirinha: Looked good in attack, less so in defence. 6

Pepe: Couple of very important last ditch efforts, crucial for Portugal. 7

Ricardo Carvalho: The oldest outfield player in the tournament, but wasn’t really exposed. 6

Eliseu: Slightly suspect in defence but better in attack. 6

William Carvalho: Lost the ball couple of times in first half and was somewhat anonymous in second. 6

Joao Mario: Provided great assist for 1st Ronaldo goal, looked lively. 7

Joao Moutinho: Poor and was subbed at half time. 4

Andre Gomes: Not too bad, but Portugal looked much better when he was subbed for Quaresma. 6

Nani: Can be inconsistent but made dangerous forward runs and took his goal well. 7

Cristiano Ronaldo: Finally got his goal and time and time again dragged his side back into game. 9
