Euro 2016: Group Standings, Tables and Updated Schedule After Saturday Results

Cristiano Ronaldo hit the post from the penalty spot deep in the second half as Portugal drew 0-0 against Austria in a drab Group F game in Paris at UEFA Euro 2016.

It was a frustrating night for Portugal's talisman at Parc des Princes, one that jeopardised the qualification hopes for both nations. 

The day began with Belgium finally showing their talent in a comfortable 3-0 win over Republic of Ireland in Group E. Romelu Lukaku bagged a brace, scoring either side of an Axel Witsel header as the Belgians turned on the style in a second-half goal-fest in Bordeaux, France, on Saturday.

Yet Ireland will feel aggrieved not to have been awarded a penalty shortly before Lukaku's opener. In reality, though, manager Martin O'Neill's team were comfortably outclassed by a Belgium side altogether more progressive than they had been during a drab defeat to Italy in their first game.

Belgium's victory means Italy have now qualified as winners of Group E.

Later, Hungary battled back to earn a deserved 1-1 draw against Iceland after dictating large portions of the game. The Hungarians now top Group F after surprising many with a stylish brand of football.

Here are the results from Saturday's group matches:

Recap

It was Ronaldo against goalkeeper Robert Almer for much of Portugal's match with Austria. Try as he might, the former found himself repeatedly frustrated by a stubborn stopper.

BBC Sport detailed how Portugal's No. 7 has struggled to make the most of frequent shooting chances in this competition:

Still, Ronaldo remained determined to be the man who would break the deadlock, demanding the rights to every free-kick.

Kieran Canning of Agence France-Presse felt Ronaldo's keenness for set-piece action was in response to the success enjoyed by a Real Madrid team-mate at this tournament:

By contrast, Austria showed no such intent to get goals. Their cautious approach was best summed up by a lack of involvement from one of their key players, per Eric Krakauer of Bigsoccerhead podcast:

Still, for all their restraint, Austria still created a fantastic chance in the first half, one that called for some heroic Portuguese defending. The tournament's official site relayed an image of the vital clearance:

Ronaldo thought his moment had finally come late in the second half when he was hauled down in the box. Yet it was in keeping with his night when the usually prolific attacker slammed his penalty off the foot of the post.

Moments later, Ronaldo thought he'd won it after nodding in a free-kick, only to see the linesman's flag rule it out.

After seeing Portugal's main man spurn so many chances, BBC Football Focus presenter Dan Walker was prompted to ask this question:

Ultimately, Ronaldo's luck didn't turn, and both sides settled for a point—although neither is out of the qualification race just yet.

For Belgium, Lukaku finally made the most of a chance in the second half against Republic of Ireland. Yet there was plenty of controversy after the Boys in Green were denied a penalty moments before following a very robust coming together in the box involving forward Shane Long.

UTV journalist Mark McFadden was unimpressed with the non-award:

Despite the controversy, Lukaku's goal was a reward for a more positive approach from a Belgium side too dour and pragmatic in their first match.

Not only was Lukaku more lively, there were also forward runners from midfield. Specifically, Witsel's willingness to break was rewarded when he headed home Belgium's second.

Witsel's was a true team goal, as this graphic from Telegraph Football showed:

Clearly buoyed by the license to play more expansively, Belgium soon made it three when Lukaku tapped in after fine work from mercurial winger Eden Hazard.

Lukaku's second means he now shares a piece of history with his national team manager, according to Ladbrokes:

This is how a squad littered with Premier League stars such as Lukaku, Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne is expected to play. Granted, the opposition weren't particularly strong, but manager Marc Wilmots still earned some plaudits for letting his match-winners off the leash.

It's a pattern Belgium must repeat in their final group game against Sweden on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Ireland must beat the resting Italians to have any hope of progression.

Hungary boosted their qualification hopes with a 1-1 draw against Iceland in Group F after bossing possession for most of the game, with Adam Nagy typically at the heart of things.

The Hungarians passed the ball on the deck neatly between mini triangles of like-minded playmakers.

The eye-pleasing approach led to a lion's share of the ball, as BBC Sport revealed:

By contrast, Iceland were direct, utilising pace out wide and plenty of high balls into the box. One such aerial delivery got Gabor Kiraly into trouble when he dropped a ball he should've claimed easily. The 40-year-old goalkeeper then brought down a player in the box, and the end result was a penalty that was coolly dispatched by Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Copa90 offered this accurate rendering of the decisive spot-kick:

Despite trailing, Hungary maintained the pattern of the game after the break, owning the ball and always looking to work openings between the lines. Yet stubborn defending frequently left Nagy, Balazs Dzsudzsak, Zoltan Gera and Co. frustrated.

Seeking to establish their own control of the ball, Iceland introduced 37-year-old forward Eidur Gudjohnsen inside the final 10 minutes.

But the ploy didn't work, and yet another slick passing move created Hungary's equaliser when Nemanja Nikolics' devilish low cross was turned into his own net by Birkir Saevarsson.

Hungary now look a good bet to qualify while the rest of those in action today face an anxious wait.
