Young Ireland fan, 11, fined over £2,500 over running onto the pitch to get Cristiano Ronaldo's shirt after Portugal's draw with Dublin... but reveals her father will cover the fee for entering the field of play

The young girl who ran onto the pitch to get Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal shirt after his match with the Republic of Ireland on Thursday was fined over £2,500 for entering the playing surfaces.

Ronaldo made 11-year-old Addison Whelan's night by giving her his shirt and a hug after she ran onto the pitch to meet the striker after the 0-0 draw in Dublin.

The adoring fan was so overcome with emotion she ignored the security guards and wrapped her arms around the Manchester United star for a second time after he gave her the jersey.
