Lisbon, June 12

Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals to help Portugal beat Ireland 3-0 on Tuesday in a final warm-up before Roberto Martinez’s team heads to the European Championship in Germany.

The 39-year-old Ronaldo’s second-half double followed Joao Felix’s opener at Aveiro Municipal Stadium south of Porto.

Portugal face Czech Republic next Tuesday in Leipzig. They also will play Turkey and Georgia in Group F.

Ronaldo, who sat out last week’s friendlies against Finland and Croatia, hit the post with a free-kick in the 22nd minute shortly after Felix’s goal. He then scored in the 50th and 60th minutes. — AP

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
