ABERDEEN FC winger Niall McGinn was delighted to strike the goal that crashed Cristiano Ronaldo’s party.
The Aberdeen FC winger scored the goal that earned Northern Ireland a World Cup qualifying point in Portugal.
The night was meant to be a celebration for Real Madrid star Ronaldo, who was given a special presentation before the game as he earned his 100th international cap. But it was McGinn’s finish that took the Irish to within 11 minutes of a famous victory before Helder Postiga’s late equaliser.
