Portugal had started on the wrong foot against Armenia, receiving a goal in the early minutes, but Commander Cristiano Ronaldo was fast enough to rescue his team with three goals before the break.
The first one was a penalty kick, in the twenty-ninth minute:

For the second one, he took advantage of a misunderstanding between Armenia's goalkeeper and a defender and finished with a subtle shot:
