Two teams currently both in the top 10 in the FIFA rankings meet in one of the most
eagerly anticipated matches in the group stage at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
It is Portugal against Spain. Ronaldo, is that a penalty? It is! Portugal have the opportunity
to take the lead. It's one nil Portugal and was there ever any doubt? Long ball forward
looking for Diego Costa up against Pepe. Pepe gets the head up and goes down. Play continues,
it's Diego Costa, can he get the shot away? Costa scores! Diego Costa all on his own,
unable to fire it past Rui Patricio. Guedes onside, Ronaldo wasn't initially. Ronaldo with
the shot, oh it's gone in! Portugal are back in front. Andres Iniesta fouled right under the nose
of the referee. Silva with a little chip, back across, goal turned in! Diego Costa strikes again!
Persistence from Spain. Now it might drop for the shot here, oh what a shot that is! Wow! Spain three,
Portugal two now. Ronaldo goes down, gets a free kick. Portugal's hopes rest on Cristiano Ronaldo's
shoulders. Genius! A genius! It's an exquisite free kick. Perfection! What a night in Sochi.
Portugal three, Spain three.
