Iceland was second best most of the Group F game and trailed to a first half strike by Nani. A goal from Birkir Bjarnason earned Iceland a shock 1-1 draw with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal on Tuesday at the European Championship, the tiny Scandinavian nation's first ever match at a major tournament. Portugal had wasted many good chances before then, notably in the 22nd minute when Ronaldo found Nani in the box with a precise cross. Nani jumped higher than the Iceland defenders but his powerful header hit the feet of keeper Hannes Halldorsson. Ronaldo sent a header wide and again came close just before Nani's opener, collecting a 40-meter ball from Pepe over the top - only to fluff his shot.
