Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo, of course, finds his way to the top of any biggest moments list.

The Portuguese man traveled to Switzerland to join his team as they played Egypt and the Netherlands. While the match against Holland was woeful for Portugal, the fixture against Egypt is one to remember.

The Euro 2016 winner’s took on the Egyptian King, better know as Mohammed Salah, and Egypt in Zurich. While Portugal dominated possession, it was Mo Salah who gave his side the lead in the 56th minute. Though Portugal had many chances to tie the match and potentially take the lead, it was not until the dying minutes of the match that they did so.

Cristiano took matters into his own hands, saving his country some embarrassment. The talisman scored two headers in the 92nd and 94th minute of the match to tie and snatch the win at the death.
