Cristiano Ronaldo destroying Spain

And if he scores in this World Cup, he'll be only the fourth person to do so. But the stats, other than World Cup goals, are just ridiculous around him. He's 33 now, so it's probably going to be his last World Cup. And he'll be desperate to make an impact. He's won almost everything. Spain gets into its second and third match. You can just see from Italy, 44-year-old from Florence. He refereed Spain's match against Russia alongside this man here. Throwing shapes on early marker. Nicely touched down this time by Fernandes. Oh, Ronaldo! He's very, very quick in his movement. There is an attempt by Nacho to get the ball, and then he tries to withdraw. He's only got three goals in World Cup finals in the past. This is his fourth time to appear in a World Cup final. A record for a Portuguese player. Now, can he make the perfect start? He most definitely can. One minute towards the lead. Well, that is now well and truly putting it up to Spain. Well, that's what he's very good at, putting the debate behind him. It looks like Portugal are just going to play a longer ball forward, just to try and avoid the Spanish press. Because as soon as they lose it, the Spanish are trying to win it back within seconds. So Portugal don't want to take any risks at the back, nor in midfield, it would seem. Busquets there just getting in a tangle with Ronaldo. Clumsy challenge. And there it is again, it's a penalty. Of course, had 10 years with the Portuguese squad. Spanish midfield again been taken out of play with the ball over the top from Cedric. Balls tell us that he's taken 46 free kicks in his three World Cup campaigns up to now, and never scored. What about the 47s? Nope. What he probably had to do in addressing the players is just get the scene of Silva. First ball from Bruno Fernandes is ideal. That touch of Ronaldo, perfect. At the receiving end, Busquets. Goalkeeper, Ronaldo, clearly on his way. On this near side. Last year, they're attacking again. They should have stopped that. Celebration time for Portugal, right at the very end, it was unexpected. This is where it all started, Jim. Well, this is a collection of that beat de Gea, which had enough power nonetheless, but the keeper should have saved. In between, a goal by Diego Costa after 24 minutes. Bang, bang on it tonight. Yeah. And the lads in commentary talking about the possibility of maybe Andre Silva coming on, you know, the relationship that he has with Ronaldo. All set for a continuation of the 39th international match game for him, and I'm sure they still covet him. Self in recent weeks, saying he wasn't quite as with it. Pique. And the teams have drawn level. 19 in all, they finished fourth at the table. Not the best of balls to give to Iniesta. He gave away, as well, for the opening goal here. Absolutely. Ronaldo ran forward, won a free kick, gives out to the referee, expects a yellow card for the trip. He'd like to referee the game, as well. This is what happened here. Nacho came across. They might need to freshen things, but they've got Ronaldo still. Oh, Koke, gives it away. He's sitting there, left before the finish, couldn't stand it. Don't blame him. Ronaldo. Anything is still possible in this match. And maybe Andre Silva might be willing to come off the bench to try and produce something similar. Could well be. It's a decent ball, a really good ball. A really, really good ball. Caresma coming in as a handball at the end of it. Came up awkwardly for him. He had a chance of playing it. Sturdy let it go out of play. Assuming he's going to get the throw. One well in the air by Silva. Ronaldo, and he falls down on the edge of the D. Foul. And Tika has a smile on his face as if to say, did you buy that one, referee? I mean, if... Spain must be well aware. And he's going back a fair number of paces. Open style. Can he smash it in? Can he? Who else would dare? Through which he approached it. The stage at which the game is at. Only one man, I suppose, on this planet would have the nerve with three minutes to go to come up, deceive everybody and smash it into the back of that Spanish net. And it's 3-3. That's what about the goals that they got tonight, Jim. The penalty for starters. Then the error by the goalkeeper De Gea. That was his second goal. And there, that push by Pique. And that free kick. His winner. Ronaldo. Cedric. Chip to the far. Back in again. Very dangerous ball. It's a push. It was a push, but there was great pace in that. But it's got to be a free out. Yeah, just to try and get... You can see that Ronaldo is in a little difficulty. I think about... Is it cramp? Well, you would hope that it's only a serious cramp. 33 years of age now. He's done so much over the years. It's been some match and he's got some hat-trick to salvage a point in the opening game here in the 2018 World Cup. It looked like Nacho had done the business.
