Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Portugal qualified for next year's European Championship with a 6-2 demolition of 10-man Bosnia-Herzegovina yesterday.

After a 0-0 draw in Zenica last week, the pressure was on the Portuguese to deliver in Lisbon in the second leg of the playoff.

Ronaldo put Portugal ahead in the eighth minute with a trademark dipping free-kick, then Nani made it 2-0 with a thundering strike in the 24th.

Zvjezdan Misimovic's 40th-minute penalty kept Bosnia in the game, but Ronaldo charged through the defense for his second in the 53rd.

Senad Lulic was sent off for dissent a minute later, but teammate Emir Spahic scored against the run of play in the 66th.

Helder Postiga, Miguel Veloso and Fabio Coentrao sealed it in the last 20 minutes.
