The striker scored his first goal by sprinting onto a through ball, before side footing the ball into the back of the net.
For his second goal, he saw Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 play him a ball from the right flank to the left. The attacker then side stepped past his marker and then beat the keeper by pretending to shoot at the far post, before smashing the ball into the near post.
As a result of his brilliant display, the match ended with Portugal beating Netherlands by two goals to one.
"Without the team, we wouldn't have won," the attacker told reporters after the game. "We achieved our aim and now we have to play against the Czechs, which will be hard."

Based on the results, Portugal will now take on the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882 in the 21st of June in the knock out stages of the contest.
