The hosts were immediately awarded a penalty when the game had only been running for eight minutes after Sebastien Thill brought down Bernardo Silva in the forbidden box.

Ronaldo, who came forward as the executor, headed the ball into the middle and managed to outwit Luxembourg goalkeeper Anthony Moris. Score 1-0 to Portugal.

Not long ago, Portugal again received a penalty when Ronaldo's action was forced to stop by Moris.

Ronaldo could beat Moris, but the shot had to be repeated because Pepe went into the box before the referee blew the whistle.

CR7 again successfully entered the ball in the second kick to bring Portugal 2-0 up in the 13th minute.

In the 17th minute, Portugal was getting further away. Starting from Bernardo Silva's breakthrough bait, the ball was received by Bruno Fernandes who immediately fired a horizontal shot into the right corner of the goal so that Moris couldn't drive it away. The score becomes 3-0.

After the goal, the score remained 3-0 for Portugal until halftime.

After the break, Ronaldo almost scored his third goal in this match in the 49th minute.

Nuno Mendes off the bait from the left side which was grabbed by Ronaldo. However, the 36-year-old's kick was still narrowly wide of the Luxembourg goal.

In the 68th minute, Moris made a brilliant save to parry an acrobatic shot from Ronaldo.

A minute later, goalkeeper Moris conceded again through Joao Palhinha's header who took advantage of Bruno Fernandes' corner. Portugal leads 4-0.

Ronaldo was finally able to carve a hat-trick in the 87th minute. Ruben Neves off a long pass from midfield.
