Watch Cristiano Ronaldo fume at Portugal team-mate Diogo Jota as he ignores superstar in Hungary clash

CRISTIANO RONALDO raged at his Portugal team-mate Diogo Jota in the first half against Hungary.

The Liverpool forward burst through on goal before striking a left footed effort at goal which was well saved by Peter Gulacsi.

Cristiano Ronaldo fumed at Diogo Jota but missed a great chance of his own before scoring twice in a 3-0 win

Ronaldo was in a brilliant position to score himself however, and he fumed at his team-mate for not passing him the ball.

CR7 was unmarked in the penalty area and was better placed than Jota to score.

He would have had time to pick his spot so he struggled to contain his outrage after not receiving the ball, which was understandable.

But later in the half Ronaldo was presented with a brilliant opportunity to open the scoring.

Bruno Fernandes‘ low cross found the striker just six yards from goal, with Jota dummying the ball to present Ronaldo with the chance.

The Juventus star blazed the ball over the crossbar in a rather disappointing fashion.

In Ronaldo’s defence he was running onto the ball and met it at its highest point, but a player of his quality should have scored with ease.

Portugal dominated proceedings against Hungary but the score was level at half-time.

Jota almost opened the scoring a second time but his turn and swivel was well saved by Gulacsi, who frustrated the Portuguese attack.

Portugal went on to win the game but it took a long time – and a huge slice of luck – to unlock the stubborn Hungarians.

Raphael Guerreiro opened the scoring with just six minutes to play thanks to a massive deflection.

Then Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in the closing stages to secure a far-from-comfortable 3-0 win.

His first came from the penalty spot but his second saw him roll into an empty net after great team play and a brilliant feint around Gulacsi.

The two goals meant he is now the highest scorer in Euros tournament history with 11 – and is now just four away from breaking Ali Daei’s all-time international goals record.
