Portugal were putting together a dangerous attack with Joao Cancelo on the ball and Ronaldo making a run in behind.

But their efforts seemed to go to waste after the pair found themselves on different wavelengths and Cancelo mistimed his pass.

Fortunately for Roberto Martinez’s side, Akaydin came across to calmly deal with the danger and unbelievably passed the ball beyond Turkey keeper Altay Bayindir and into the back of the net.

Despite the sensational own goal, fans were more interested in Ronaldo’s reaction to not getting the chance for himself.

One fan wrote: “Funniest goal so far! Made even funnier by Ronaldo raging in the background!”
