Cristiano Ronaldo helps send Portugal into the quarter-finals of the Nations League

Cristiano Ronaldo’s stunning bicycle kick helped Portugal reach the Nations League quarter-finals with a thumping win against Poland.

With Portugal 4-0 up in the dying minutes, Ronaldo acrobatically slotted home at the far post for his second of the match.

All five Portugal goals were scored in a dominant second-half display, with Rafael Leao getting the ball rolling when he headed in the opener.

The hosts were then awarded a penalty following a foul by Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior inside the box and Ronaldo stepped up to coolly send the spot-kick down the middle.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes grabbed a fine third and drove a fierce strike in off the underside of the bar, before Chelsea winger Pedro Neto wrapped up the big win with a powerful strike inside the near post.

Dominik Marczuk grabbed a late consolation for Poland, but it did little to dampen the celebrations from Portugal’s fans after their superb second-half display.

The two goals for Ronaldo continued his excellent form in the competition, having now scored five goals in five Nations League games.

The win means Portugal progress as Group A1 winners, but Poland can’t go through.
