Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema both scored a brace in an entertaining 2-2 draw

PORTUGAL (4-3-3)    

Rui Patricio - Conceded two goals, perhaps should have listened to Pepe's instructions to dive left given the defender's knowledge of Karim Benzema. But made an extremely good save from Paul Pogba's long range effort.  6.5 

Nelson Semedo - Gave away a penalty for a foul on Benzema which was very harsh on the Wolves defender. Had to deal with Kylian Mbappe who caused him some difficulty but he handled himself well. 6

Pepe - Typical no-nonsense type of performance from Pepe who did his best to keep the ball away from the Portuguese box. Got caught out slightly for both goals though. 6 

Ruben Dias - Like his centre-back partner was asleep as Benzema made a smart run in behind from Paul Pogba's stunning pass which allowed France to go 2-1 ahead.  Dealt well with anything that came his way otherwise. 6.5 

Raphael Guerriero - Bit of a quiet game on the whole but did put some dangerous crosses into the box for Ronaldo. 6 

Ruben Dias was caught out for Karim Benzema's second goal but otherwise had a solid night

Joao Moutinho - Surprise inclusion perhaps as Portugal made changes to their midfield after their disappointing result against Germany.  But it was a good decision and Moutinho was a wise head in the centre of midfield and it was his free-kick that led to Lloris' wild punch. 7 

Danilo - Took a nasty blow to the head by Hugo Lloris which led to the first penalty. Was very solid and managed to keep Antoine Griezmann quiet before he was taken off for the start of the second-half. 7 

Renato Sanches - Came into the side ahead of Bruno Fernandes and what a game he had. Was a beast in the centre of the park and Portugal's best player on the night. 8

Bernardo Silva - Caused Lucas Hernandez some problems but on the whole a bit of a quiet night and he struggled to get into the game at parts.

 Diego Jota - Like Bernardo Silva had a quiet night for Portugal as he struggled to get onto the ball in the first half though he made a few dangerous runs. 6

Cristiano Ronaldo - Another record breaking night for the Portuguese superstar as he equalled the all-time international goalscoring record with two penalties. Wasn't his best game but will be one of his more memorable on the international stage. 7.5

Manager: Fernando Santos - Made some big decisions dropping William Carvalho and Bruno Fernandes for this game but it paid
