Cristiano Ronaldo is always the protagonist, with the brace (5′, 20′) that opens the scoring. Then there is space for Bruno Fernandes’ great strike (25′), Cancelo’s right-footed shot (32′) and Joao Felix’s delicious strike with the outside (41′). Iceland beats Liechtenstein 4-0, thanks to a brace from Sigurdsson (22′, 49′), who becomes his national team’s all-time top scorer, Finnbogason (44′) and Haraldsson (63′).
