Leao came off the bench with Portugal already well in command of the game and heading for their first win, but with a point to prove the winger provided the exclamation mark on the performance.
Coming in off the left side, the Milan man was on hand to provide a beautiful first-time finish with his right foot into the top corner, with the ball having deflected perfectly into the path of his run.
