Watch: Renato Sanches scores sensational equalizer

Robert Lewandowski did his job. The Polish captain got his team on the board with an early goal. Now it was time for Portugal’s star to answer. We waited and waited and waited until finally, Portugal played a great one-two getting the ball on the left foot of their star player at the top of the box.

But this star wasn’t Cristiano Ronaldo, no this was Portugal’s future star, the one who hasn’t even played a first team match for his club. Renato Sanches. If you’re unfamiliar with that name, you won’t be for long.
