  • Portugal had a rather forgetful night on Monday after being handed a 3-0 loss by Netherlands, as they prepare for their bid to win the 2018 World Cup campaign in Russia.

    Goals from Memphis Depay, Ryan Babel and Virgil van Dijk before half-time meant Fernando Santos’ side had an uphill task ahead of them in the second-half.

    What looked an almost impossible task then got even more so after Joao Cancelo was sent off in the 61st minute.

    Soon after, Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted after enduring a frustrating night on the pitch, but only after – not one, not two, but three pitch invaders hurried onto the pitch to meet the Real Madrid superstar.

    One of the pitch invaders even gave Ronaldo a kiss on his cheeks.

    And while the disappointment of the scoreline was evident on Ronaldo’s face, the five-time Ballon d’or winner handled the situation well.

    Watch how the incident happened, below.
