All Spain’s fans could do, after it was over, was applaud. There was no sense wallowing in disappointment, worrying about what it all might mean.

What occurred on Friday is no simple task.  First 15 minutes Portugal was playing top class game leading by Chrisiano which results them to get penalty kick (for fouling Christiano). He made no mistake and scroes the first goal . Portugal 1 – 0 Spain.

Then it was the time for Spain , they scored within next 15 minutes with Diego Costa That brilliant goal was scored by beating two defenders multiple times and with some good skills. Again, Portugal led. The same man Christiano Ronaldo. At half way stage Portugal was leading with 2 -1.

It was all Christiano and Diego Costa show till 50 minutes to put scores on 2 – 2

Second half started with a bang. Spain recovered with another goal. Same man again, Diego Costa. Then before Nacho Fernández scored the sort of goal that is supposed to be beyond the skill of a stand-in right back. The goal gave Spain the lead for the first time in the match and put Fernando Hierro, the Spanish coach, on course for an immense victory only one game, and two days, into his job.

Portugal vs. Spain 2018 World Cup: Cristiano Ronaldo nets hat trick in Portugal 3 – 3 Spain thriller

There was needed a superman performance to put Portugal back into play.  Yes, the same man again – Christiano Ronaldo, yet again, intervened. Cristiano Ronaldo’s free kick in the 88th minute swerved around a wall of Spanish defenders and dipped under the crossbar to complete his hat trick and give Portugal a well-earned point in a game that seemed destined to be a loss.

Fact : Christiano Ronaldo had taken 44 free kicks in previous World Cups. He had scored on none of them.  But the 45th time’s is a charm to watch

Portugal, which is now best thought of as a nation established long back so that it might one day produce Cristiano Ronaldo, would have its draw. More important, the 2018 World Cup had its spark. The afterglow of a game like this can last for a couple of weeks, at least; on this stage, it can resonate around the world.

Spain would have been forgiven for feeling like a victim. It had been the better team in this game, had more of the ball, created more opportunities, played the slicker, smoother soccer. But when Spain’s players had left the field, and Portugal’s stood in the center circle, the Spanish fans remained standing, and they kept clapping, as every single Portuguese player sought out Ronaldo, to clasp his hand, to ruffle his hair, as though just to touch him was to brush against something holy.

  • 3’: Goal! Ronaldo Makes Spain Pay. Well, we said there would be drama, and that’s it from the start. A foul, a whistle and a penalty for Ronaldo! He converts, and just like that Spain’s World Cup somehow manages to get even worse.
  • 24’: GOAL! Diego Costa Levels for Spain. Diego Costa gets behind the defense and dances around two defenders until he can get a look at the goal. Spotting it, he buries a shot past Rui Patricio.
  • 44’: GOAL! Ronaldo Does it Again. A howler from De Gea and Portugal leads 2-1. Ronaldo gets the ball near the top of the area, and wangles a hard low shot at De Gea. Eminently savable, he instead lets it skip off him and in. That’s a terrible mistake from an outstanding goalkeeper, and it’s cost his team badly here in the closing second of the half.
