( CNN ) -- Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Portugal beat 10-man Bosnia-Herzegovina 6-2 on Tuesday to qualify for the Euro 2012 finals . With the playoff first leg in Bosnia tied 0-0 , Portugal were looking for a fast start and got it as Real Madrid star Ronaldo netted early with a trademark free-kick . A second from Manchester United 's Nani after 26 minutes looked to have eased Portugal 's path to Ukraine and Poland next year , but Zvezjdan Misimovic converted an early second-half penalty following Fabio Coentrao 's handball . Ronaldo then scored a superb second to equal Luis Figo 's international record of 32 for Portugal and put his side 3-1 ahead . How should football tackle racism ? An incident-packed second half saw Bosnia lose Senad Lulic for a second yellow , but a goal from Emir Spahic gave them renewed hope against the nervy hosts . However , a late double from Helder Postiga and a further strike from Miguel Veloso saw the Euro 2004 runners-up romp home in spectacular style . They were joined in the finals , as expected , by the Republic of Ireland , who drew 1-1 with Estonia to seal a 5-1 aggregate victory after a decisive four-goal win Friday 's first leg . The Irish -- whose only previous appearance in the finals of a European Championship was in 1988 -- opened the scoring through Stephen Ward after 32 minutes . Estonia 's Konstantin Vassiljev equalized in the second half with a long-range shot which eluded goalkeeper Shay Given . The Czech Republic booked a fifth successive Euro finals place with a 1-0 win in Montenegro . The Czechs led 2-0 from the first leg in Prague , and a fine individual goal from Petr Jiracek in the 81st minute sealed their qualification . It was a similar story in Croatia , where the home side , who led Turkey 3-0 from the first leg , played out a 0-0 draw to go through .
