Summary of Germany's 2: 4 victory over Portugal in the 6th house of the Euro (Sport 1)
Although the Portuguese team lost yesterday (Saturday) 4: 2 to the German team in the "House of Death" in the Euro, but despite the loss, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be a huge story in this tournament.
After scoring a double in the first game against Hungary, yesterday he scored a goal against Germany and added cooking, and continued to record in the game’s record books.

Yesterday Ronaldo equaled Miroslav Klose with his 19th goal in a major tournament (Euro and World Cup), becoming the first player in the history of European Championships to score at least 3 goals in three different tournaments (2012, 2016, 2020).
Ronaldo's goal against Germany was his 107th (!) In the Portugal national team uniform, and now he is only two goals away from the all-time high - Iranian Ali Dai.
One more cooking, and he will also be the player with the most cooking in the history of the Euro.
Beyond that, there is football itself.
He scored a great first goal, with a ball that he himself kept away from the Germans' horn, ran an entire field at the height of his determination, and finished it with a typical close-range goal.
He then also cooked for Diego Jote the second goal of Portugal, sending a high foot with impressive flexibility, and giving a gentle touch to his friend who pressed close.
In addition, the UEFA crowned his move as the “game emerald,” bouncing over Rodiger and adding a smart delivery with the heel.

But what particularly amazed the commentators was Ronaldo's speed in the first goal.
As mentioned, it started when he himself moved a corner kick.
He then ran almost an entire yard (97 meters, near accuracy), and during the run reached a top speed of 32 km per hour. Usain Bolt, it should be noted, reaches a top speed of 37.85 km / h.
Ronaldo did it at the age of 36, on grass, with shields and football boots.
The data, it should be noted, were provided by beINSPORTS, while on the UEFA website the count is slightly different.

However, the commentators were delighted.
"Did you think that after removing the horn he would settle for that, and stay where he is?", Said a BEIN commentator, "he ran the whole pitch, at record speed, at 36, it's just sensational."
Either way, Portugal is preparing for the game against France, knowing that everything is open in this house, also since four of the six houses have three teams, and Portugal is in a pretty comfortable position after the 0: 3 victory in the first game.
"Believe in us, as we believe," Ronaldo wrote.
