Wasteful Portugal held by Austria

Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty and Portugal settled for a second straight draw at Euro 2016 as their Group F game against Austria finished goalless.

The Real Madrid star stepped up to take the penalty in the 79th minute after Martin Hinteregger hauled him down in the box, but the Real Madrid star struck the post.

Portugal had the wide majority of opportunities but could find no joy against Austria, who earned their first point following the opening defeat to Hungary.

Austria goalkeeper Robert Almer was put on notice from the start as he had to tip Ricardo Quaresma's corner kick over the bar in the second minute.
