Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema, who last scored for France in October 2015, showed composure smashing in two goals with one from the spot. He receiving a pat on the back from Ronaldo as he returned to the centre circle.

Benzema and France denied the defending champions a place at the top of the group F as Ronaldo stole the show smashing records all by himself. Karim Benzema rewarded after his double for France.

The pair hugged at half-time as they walked off the pitch deep in conversation but Benzema showed no mercy when the teams returned from the break, sliding home France’s second from Pogba’s inch-perfect pass.

Ronaldo again showed he is world class winning a second penalty he chipped it on to the outstretched arm of Jules Kounde to win Portugal’s second penalty which he scored to level the scores to 2:2.

Mbappe was a nuisance but couldn’t score, Pogba produced moments of quality and in Benzema, France has a world-class striker.

World Champions take on Switzerland in Bucharest on Monday and while Ronaldo’s Portugal take on one of the favorite of the competition Belgium on Sunday June 27.
