Ronaldo Scores Four as Portugal Crush Lithuania 5-1

Star striker Cristiano Ronaldo’s four goals helped Euro 2016 champions Portugal crush Lithuania 5-1 in Euro 2020 qualifying Group B match.

On Tuesday, Ronaldo opened his account in the seventh minute with a penalty after Joao Felix had been fouled, though Vytautas Andriuskevicius leveled things up for the hosts in the 28th minute.

Portugal raised their game in the second half, with 34-year-old Ronaldo bagging three more goals with Bernardo Silva laying on two assists. Midfielder William Carvalho’s close-range shot completed the 5-1 rout in stoppage time.

It was Portugal’s second consecutive qualifying victory after they had beaten Serbia 4-2 on Saturday. These wins have vaulted them to second place in the Group B standings, five points behind leaders Ukraine with one game in hand.

Portugal’s next match is at home against Luxembourg on 11 October.
