Ronaldo illuminates stellar pull with Spain

Cristiano Ronaldo was Portugal’s saviour once again as he scored a hat-trick to secure a pull opposite Spain. It was a Real Madrid man’s top idea total in a FIFA World Cup™ match.

He kicked off with an early penalty, deceiving Nacho inside a box to win it and afterwards rub-down a round home from a spot. Fortunately for *La Roja*, Diego Costa was also during his bristling best, removing a improved of a Portugal counterclaim to turn a scores. Isco afterwards thumped a milling expostulate opposite a bar. Yet while Spain dominated possession they were exposed on a counter, and it was on a mangle that Ronaldo put his side behind in front, banishment in a expostulate that David de Gea was incompetent to hold.  

Costa scored his second equaliser of a night only after a restart before Nacho atoned for his penalty-box outing on Ronaldo by powering a glorious half-volley in off a post, his initial idea for Spain. As a time ticked down, however, Gerard Pique brought down CR7 only outward a box, with a Portugal star powdering himself down to finish a scoring with a high free-kick.
