While the Real Madrid
forward's set-piece drought continued, Balazs Dzsudzsak scored the
all-important goal which laid down a new benchmark at a European
Championship
A new free-kick record was set in Portugal’s 3-3 draw with Hungary - but it wasn’t by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Instead it was Hungary’s Balazs Dzsudzsak who set the new benchmark
with Ronaldo now without a goal from a free-kick in 39 attempts at a
major tournament,
Dzsudzsak’s goal against Portugal was the fourth direct free-kick
scored at Euro 2016 - beating the previous record of three free-kick
goals first set in 1984 and then in 2004.
Gareth
Bale has struck two this tournament against Slovakia and then England,
while Eric Dier surprisingly found the net from a free-kick in his
side’s opening game against Russia.
Bale could also become the first player at a European Championship to score three free-kicks at the same tournament.
