Portugal 3 Algeria 0: Guedes at the double in Ronaldo's 150th outing

Cristiano Ronaldo was held scoreless on his return to action, but it mattered little as Portugal eased past Algeria.

Goncalo Guedes impressed with an eye-catching brace in Cristiano Ronaldo's 150th international appearance as Portugal brushed aside Algeria 3-0 in a routine World Cup warm-up.

In his first appearance of any kind since Real Madrid's victory in the Champions League final, Ronaldo threatened regularly in his 74 minutes but was forced to take a back seat to the eye-catching Guedes.

The Paris Saint-Germain winger, who is reportedly attracting interest from Premier League side Wolves, netted either side of half-time to give Portugal a timely confidence boost eight days out from their opening Group B clash against Spain.
