hello and welcome to a contest of colossal meaning we find ourselves here just to the north of the Doha City Center ahead of the 2022 World Cup final my name is Derek Ray and with me to provide expert analysis is Stuart Robson and as you can imagine on this occasion the atmosphere is building up nicely it's Portugal and they take on Costa Rica what occasion for these two sets of players a chance to be world champions let's hope the game matches the atmosphere it should be an absolute cracker I can't wait for this to start [Applause] [Applause] here's how it looks for Portugal ja Canelo starts with rafhael Guerrero as fullbacks Bernardo Silva plays alongside Ruben NES in the center of Midfield and leading the line today is Christiano Ronaldo [Applause] and here's the starting 11 for Costa Rica well in this system I'm not sure how they're going to pose a threat going forward the sent fors will certainly struggle to get any support and there doesn't seem to be any attacking [Applause] width and now they get the ball rolling Brandon Aguila and a good challenge to bring that attack to an end opportunity it is and it's in we've just witnessed the first goal of this 2022 World Cup final one to SA well let's take another look it's a really well-timed pass to break the offside line and a really powerful strike from xia Felix great technique that's a top class [Applause] goal so the ball rolling again with the score line standing at 1 n number 11 [Applause] yelin Tada well not the pass he had in [Applause] mind Cristiano Ronaldo oh him with a chance and a goal I'll tell you what they're going to be very hard to catch now name on the trophy Maybe [Applause] well here it is again Ronaldo finds exactly the right pass behind the Defenders and Fernandez does the rest he hits through the back of the ball with such power what a great finish that [Applause] is two n here and the ball is moving again [Applause] celo borz useful looking position you've got to say but the danger averted for [Applause] now Cristiano Ronaldo Jah Felix and that pass could be troublesome Fernando Silva it has to be there it is the goals keep coming no stopping them today just look at this again the combination play in the top third of the field was so precise and the movement is good making for a comfortable finish it's a really great goal [Applause] this is looking rather comfortable for them 3 n number 11 Campbell yelin tea nicely cut out Cristiano Ronaldo good technique displayed oh what an opportunity a goal and I'll tell you what on this sort of form very few would lay a glove on them well just look at this again the speed of Counterattack is so impressive and this is Ronaldo at his best he's composed he shows great technique and he just smashes it Beyond The Keeper go a lopsided contest 40 number seven Cristiano Ronaldo Campbell Yan Venegas peda oh that's a really good run really vital interception racing forward trying to catch them out oh and a perfect ball now how about this and nothing positive comes of it [Applause] unfortunately celo borz and he's clear as lines well the flag has gone up it was really close [Applause] [Applause] they might be on to [Applause] something and still looking to get the shot away and nicely parried away well I still can't believe that didn't go in Derek what an incredible [Applause] save Bernardo [Applause] Silva he's in [Applause] behind Campbell Yin [Applause] Tera potential Danger here well it came to nothing in the end jaah Felix can they do something positive on the [Applause] Counterattack he read that brilliantly at the [Applause] back so one minute of stoppage time that's what the officials have said joal Felix and so it is the first half story has been written [Applause] underway again and certainly dazzling football from Portugal in the first half will it be more of the same in the second well the supporters think it's on phelix determined defending [Applause] couldn't grab hold of it but he stumped it out of there without much [Applause] fuss joal [Applause] Felix on to Bruno fernan Bruno fernan [Applause] this might be the perfect counterattacking opportunity vas well nicely cut out now what can they do with the ball Cristiano Ronaldo otavio now and he's made Headway 30 minutes to go [Applause] then retaining possession proving [Applause] difficult Rono [Applause] fernan otavio in with a Chance a goal how about that he's put it away to make it a [Applause] hattick well here's the goal again and it's a great ball to put him through good Vision to set up the chance and it's a top class finish from xia Felix he just hits it with such power that's a brilliant goal [Applause] my goodness it's so one-sided 5 nil in this match [Applause] 11 Campbell possession Changing [Applause] Hands into the final 20 minutes real [Applause] chance oh burying them beneath an avalanche of goals no let up [Applause] here well let's look at this again Derek because the transition when the ball changes hands is so quick and Ronaldo finishes it with so much quality just look how much power he hits this with it's a top class [Applause] goal well that's an out and out pacting 6 nil number crisano Ronaldo Brandon Aguila DEA he's using his strength to good off effect he's lost it Bernardo [Applause] Silva he's in here and it's there for him and up for grabs off the keeper well they ped one back but perhaps a bit too late in this contest they haven't been at the races this [Applause] evening well here it is again and what a perfect cross into the box this is just inviting someone to attack it and the movement is good making for a comfortable finish it's a really great goal [Applause] goal for Costa Rica Bernardo Silva jaah Felix well there to intercept [Applause] Campbell and borz with it and there it is a goal but will it be purely a consolation at this stage of the proceedings they haven't been at the [Applause] best well just look at this again he moves the ball quickly he gets Beyond his marker and he keeps his composure it's an excellent finish goal for Costa Rica otavio Ronaldo on the ball xah fix oh lovely incisive pass and Ronaldo just needs to remain levelheaded but it was down to whether or not he could beat the keeper and that question has been answered well I'm all for players striking through the back of the ball with power but he has to hit the target from there [Applause] and now it's all over we've witness history Portugal have won the World Cup for the first time well they've been Kings of Europe now they're kings of the world and I have to say Derek they fully deserved it they were great today [Applause] Portugal the world champions and this is finally Portugal's time fully deserved best team in the world well you have to give credit to the coach he's been excellent but so too the players and these fans it's absolutely magnificent for them
