Euro 2020 Hungary v Portugal player ratings: Willi Orban 4, Adam Szalai 7; Cristiano Ronaldo 8, Bruno Fernandes 7

Late Hungary collapse sees Portugal win opener 3-0 in Budapest

• 

  HUNGARY RATINGS: Peter Gulacsi - 7, Made some good saves to deny Diogo Jota, Pepe and Bruno Fernandes, though he did get away with one after misjudging a ball in from deep. Had no chance of stopping any of Portugal’s goals. EPA

• 

  Endre Botka - 5, Was resolute in his defending and wasn’t afraid to get forward when the opportunity arose. Could do little towards the end. EPA

• 

  Willi Orban - 4, Looked very commanding at the heart of Hungary’s defence for large periods and did brilliantly to tackle Bernardo Silva in his own box. Was unlucky to see Raphael Guerreiro’s deflect off him and into the bottom corner but followed that up by conceding a penalty. EPA

• 

  Attila Szalai - 5, Defended well and made some lovely passes to get his team up the pitch. Almost created a chance with a headed knockdown. Could do little to stop the late onslaught. EPA

• 

  Gergo Lovrencsics - 6, Showed great work rate to get up and down the right wing. Struggled to add too much in an attacking sense but defended well. EPA

• 

  Laszlo Kleinheisler - 6, Did well to keep possession when he had it and attempted to join in with the attack when possible, getting a dangerous ball into the Portugal box. EPA

• 

  Adam Nagy - 7, Was a pest whenever Portugal had the ball, showing great discipline and resilience in his defensive work. AFP

• 

  Andras Schafer - 7, Showed good anticipation to win the ball back for his team and drove forward superbly at times to relieve pressure, while also forcing Portugal to work defensively. AFP

• 

  Attila Fiola - 6, Was very committed and dealt with some potentially tricky situations well, though he did lack a bit of quality at times. Took a big hit from Nelson Semedo. EPA

• 

  Adam Szalai - 7, Helped defensively at times, put himself about and held the ball up superbly at times. Didn’t trouble Rui Patricio with either of his shots on goal. EPA

• 

  Roland Sallai - 6, Showed early aggression with a nudge on Danilo Pereira and worked hard. He bought fouls well but slowed the attack down too much a couple of times when a counterattack was on. EPA

• 

  SUB Loic Nego (Schafer 66’) - 6, Was neat in his play and helped Hungary launch threatening attacks with intelligent passing a couple of times. Was booked for dissent. EPA

• 

  SUB Szabolcs Schon (Sallai 77’) – N/R, Thought he’d broken the deadlock but the goal was ruled out for offside. EPA

• 

  SUB David Siger (Kleinheisler 78’) – N/R, Struggled to make his mark on the game after Portugal got a hold on it. Reuters

• 

  SUB Kevin Varga (Fiola 88’) – N/R, Came on at the end but could do little more than witness Cristiano Ronaldo’s second goal of the game up close. EPA

• 

  PORTUGAL RATINGS: Rui Patricio - 6, Was hardly worked but he confidently dealt with any shots that came his way – though he’ll feel relieved that Schon’s goal was ruled out. EPA

• 

  Nelson Semedo - 7, Looked neat on the ball and was comfortable whether attacking or defending. Did well to create a chance that Jota was unable to take. EPA

• 

  Ruben Dias - 7, Often looked in control when Hungary attacked, but was booked for a foul on Kleinheisler. Reuters

• 

  Pepe - 7, Played a great pass to create a chance for Ronaldo and the veteran was solid in his defensive work. His header forced a good save from Gulacsi. Reuters

• 

  Raphael Guerreiro - 8, Was really quiet going forward for large periods, but it was his strike that found the bottom corner for the game’s opener. AFP

• 

  Danilo Pereira - 6, Often looked comfortable throughout the game but some of the midfielder’s pass choices threatened to put his team in trouble. EPA

• 

  William Carvalho - 7, Was very neat on the ball and always seemed composed, whether he was in or out of possession. EPA

• 

  Bernardo Silva - 6, Showed some good moments of quality, but couldn’t unlock the Hungary defence. Was lucky not to have a yellow card. AFP

• 

  Bruno Fernandes - 7, Played some very nice passes, one of which helped to produce Portugal’s first of the game. Forced a good save from Gulacsi with a strike from range. EPA

• 

  Diogo Jota - 5, He cut a frustrated figure for large periods of the game and was wasteful when chances came his way in the box. EPA

• 

  Cristiano Ronaldo - 8, Was anonymous for large periods of the game and sent a good chance flying over the crossbar. However, he was clinical from the penalty spot, and then went and got another goal for good measure. EPA

• 

  SUB Rafa Silva (B. Silva 71’) – N/R, Assisted Guerreiro’s goal and then went on to win the penalty for Portugal’s second of the game. To top things off, he linked up with Ronaldo for their third. EPA

• 

  SUB Renato Sanches (Carvalho 81’) – N/R, Looked busy and showed plenty of energy after coming off the bench. EPA

• 

  SUB Andre Silva (Jota 81’) – N/R, Provided some lovely touches during his short time on the pitch. EPA

• 

  SUB Joao Moutinho (Fernandes 89’) – N/R, Came off the bench for the final minutes as Portugal made the score line comfortable. EPA

Hungary hoped to surprise holders Portugal at Euro 2020 and held out for more than 80 minutes before a late collapse resulted in a 3-0 defeat which left coach Marco Rossi disappointed and accepting the blame for substitutions that did not work.

For a fleeting moment the near-capacity crowd at the Puskas Arena went crazy thinking the home side had taken a shock lead through Szabolcs Schon only to be deflated by an offside call.

Portugal then struck three quick goals including a Cristiano Ronaldo double that Rossi said was partly his fault as he made substitutions after the first goal that "clearly did not work."

"Three goals within 10 minutes obviously leaves me very disappointed," he told a press conference. "You can concede a goal, that was unfortunate, but you need to bounce back better, keep your shape and not take too many risks."
