- Friendly round-up

CRISTIANO RONALDO struck twice in stoppage time as Portugal snatched a 2-1 victory over Egypt in Zurich.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah put the Pharoahs ahead in the 56th minute when he curled home a low effort from the edge of the area.

That looked like being the winner for Hecor Cuper’s side until Ronaldo’s (left) late interventi­on.

Thomas Muller’s (right) thunderous equaliser ensured the heavyweigh­t friendly between Germany and Spain finished 1-1 in Dusseldorf after Rodrigo had given Spain an early lead in the battle between the last two World Cup winners.

Juan Fernando Quintero’s late penalty saw Colombia come from 2-0 down to beat France 3-2 in Paris.

Ever Banega and Manuel Lanzini scored as Argentina - without the watching Lionel Messi - secured a

2-0 win over Italy in Manchester.
