Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal come up empty against Austria in Euro 2016 group game

Cristiano Ronaldo experienced a night to forget on his record 128th Portugal appearance Saturday, missing a late penalty in a 0-0 draw against Austria that left his team winless after two matches at the European Championship.

As goalkeeper Robert Almer dived to his left, Ronaldo struck the spotkick in the opposite direction but it crashed against the post in the 79th minute.

Ronaldo did find the net find minutes later, but there was no 59th Portugal goal for the forward as it was ruled out for offside at the Parc des Princes.

It summed up another substandard game in France for the Portugal captain, who is still waiting to score in a record fourth European Championship.
