Portugal 2-1 Belgium: Ronaldo seals win after Belgians honor Brussels victims

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo put Friday's penalty miss behind him with a goal in his side's 2-1 home win against Belgium.

Portugal triumphed 2-1 against Belgium with Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo on the score sheet in Leiria.

The match had been scheduled to take place in Brussels, but was moved in the aftermath of last week's terror attacks in the Belgian capital and the visitors wore training tops with the message "In memory of all victims – Brussels, 22.03.2016" before the action got underway.

Nani gave Portugal the lead after Thibaut Courtois had pulled off a string of fine saves, the Fenerbahce winger converting a fine pass from Andre Gomes.
