Cristiano Ronaldo had a header saved for an unconvincing Portugal, while Iceland went close late on when Alfred Finnbogason had a shot saved. Nani slotted in for Portugal but Iceland worked a shock equaliser when Birkir Bjarnason volleyed home. Iceland earned a memorable point on their European Championship debut, holding Portugal to a draw in Group F.Gylfi Sigurdsson almost put Iceland in front early on but his angled shot and follow-up were both saved. Honours on the international stage have eluded him, however, and unless the forward can replicate his club scoring achievements for his country that is likely to continue. But he could only kick fresh air from 10 yards out as he failed to make contact with a long Pepe pass, then sent a 20-yard half-volley wide and had his late header saved as he endured a frustrating evening in Saint-Etienne.
