The most anticipated game from the World Cup today was undoubtedly Portugal vs. Spain. The Spaniards are widely considered as one of the teams that will be battling for the trophy and playing against Portugal would be a statement game for how good they really are.
The only thing is, the Portuguese have one man on their side: Cristiano Ronaldo.
Yeah, Spain has a super team (in today’s terms), but we all saw how much one player can carry a squad for an extended period of time like how LeBron James put the Cleveland Cavaliers on his back and on to the NBA Finals. Though Ronaldo hasn’t done all of that yet, he made sure Portugal didn’t lose on this day.
Overall, the game was full of highlights and there were plenty of goal highlights to choose from cross the 90 minutes.
There was also controversy as well.
From the Ronaldo penalty, to the non-call on Diego Costa during the first Spanish goal, expect people will be ranting about the refs and VAR for the next few days.
Shouout to Nacho with the screamer as well.
The last Ronaldo free-kick to seal the hat-trick was absolutely incredible too. Just when you thought Spain locked in the win, Cristiano gave Portugal hope and somehow got the ball in the back of the net. A draw was deserved.
Check out the goals from today’s game below.
Cristiano Ronaldo gets the opener!
