But Ronaldo settled the game in the 89th minute, tucking home from inside the six-yard box.
The goal was initially ruled out for offside, but awarded following a VAR review.
Ronaldo, 38, on his 200th international appearance, celebrated by sprinting over to the corner and performing his trademark Siu.
And as he turned around to walk back towards the pitch, a fan ran over to try and get to him.
But Man City man Dias was having none of it.
The centre-back, 26, got hold of the man and forcefully held onto him before a steward intervened.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo now has 123 goals in 200 games for Portugal.
And he has netted five times in four Euro 2024 qualifiers as Roberto Martinez's men sit top of their group with a 100 per cent record.
