FIFA 23 | PORTUGAL vs. USA | RONALDO vs. PULISIC | FIFA WORLD CUP FINAL | [4K]

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 against the United States well what an 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 Jal Canelo starts with Rafael Guerrero as fullbacks Bernardo Silva plays alongside Ruben Nez in the center of Midfield and the starting role in attack is handed to Cristiano Ronaldo [Applause] here's how it looks for the United States well the two wide players are great in 1 V one situations and their movement is also very good but it's the Midfield three that will need to control the flow of the [Applause] game and the game begins Ronaldo Felix and he's made Headway and it's in we've just witnessed the first goal of this 2022 World Cup final one to [Applause] saber well as you can see what an excellent back heill this is to set up the goal but should the keeper be beaten at his near post I don't think so he really needs to do better in those [Music] [Applause] situations One n then Cristiano Rono Tyler Adams Musa way out can they Square the game still a chance oh that's textbook goalkeeping [Applause] [Applause] and now the delivery not all that convincing defensively can they create something from [Applause] here oh could be oh great [Applause] block Bruno fernan oh left his man behind here and in with a real [Applause] chance surely oh masterful defending to prevent what looked like a certain [Applause] goal Ronaldo return to Ronaldo Jal fix must be and a goal I'll tell you what they're going to be very hard to catch now name on the trophy [Applause] maybe well here's the replay and it's a really inviting ball played into the box begging players to attack it and Fernandez's finish is excellent he times his run he finds that bit of space and he was never going to miss that [Applause] and the ball is moving again two n is how it [Applause] stands he's protecting it effectively and Portugal regaining possession well that's a foul and it sets up a free kick in a dangerous position and a goal almost bewitching in its beauty excellent [Applause] technique well what can you say about this it's hit so cleanly with exactly the right amount of bend on it and he does so well to get it back down in time once it goes over the wall excellent strike [Applause] goal well two1 it is here United States number 10 Christian pic Silva otavio now and moving the ball [Applause] nicely chance to finish and it's gone in the teams separated ated by two goals now you cannot say they don't deserve it well here's the replay and you see it was a good finish but the keeper in his near post has to do a lot better he's got to have that near post covered for me so back underway at 3-1 Timothy weer now that's a well-timed pass mckenny well that is how to nullify the [Applause] opposition Silva counterattacking very much an option [Applause] well that takes the wind out of their sails great defending Jesus fera aenny oh big opportunity opportunity and oh it's in we cannot declare this contest over they still believe well it's a goal you'd expect him to score but he kept is cool and he put it away nicely he'll be happy with [Applause] [Applause] that neutrals are getting their money's worth 32 in this match [Applause] and with that the attack Fizzles [Applause] out a very effective play in possession but really sticking to their task defensively and the electronic board delivers the news two minutes of stoppage time Silva fan onto Ronaldo is this the moment and getting across to stop [Applause] it can someone get on the end of this Felix and it's Ruben Das and it's a double for him in this game no way for the opposition to contain him and no wonder he's off celebrating yeah here's the setup play well it's a great little back here isn't it and then it's a top class strike for Bernardo Silva his technique is absolutely spot on just look at the power he generates here [Applause] so the whistle then we're up the halfway stage in this match [Applause] well underway once more and it's going to be fascinating to see what developments occur in this second [Applause] half we well it wasn't a productive cross and he has options available a wonderful [Applause] [Applause] intervention Ronaldo feeds it and they could do damage still a chance well they can keep possession of it now well the keeper deserves a lot of credit that was a fine save wasn't it well in possession now and looking to create something of their own must be it's gone in and well he might celebrate on the back of [Applause] that well here we can see it again look at the way Glides pass the defender to create space for himself and from there he never looked like missing that's a lovely goal [Applause] go well how about this four number 11 Brendon Aron good strength to keep the ball wonderful Challenge and a throw in coming up well both teams have had substitutes swarming up and now both will rely on their respective [Applause] benches 30 minutes left for [Applause] play can he put it away well room for improvement in terms of the [Applause] finish arenson and support available [Applause] the danger not over oh a goal he's equalized was he made for moments like this on an occasion like this well we won't get tired of watching this because the interplay around the box is wonderful and it makes the Striker's job so easy all he has to do is make the right connection it's a lovely goal [Applause] and it's level again here both sets of fans being put through something of an emotional mangle he read the situation defensively and did his job well The Possession tells you everything nothing really to split between the two sides it's been an enthralling encounter up to now with both teams playing some really good expansive football you just wonder if the coach would be looking at that and how they can tighten up at the back as it's been chance after chance right now yes I mean they're matching each other attacking blow for attacking blow he's in with a Chance oh it's a goal A celebratory moment as they jump in front [Applause] well here it is again and it's all about the pace on the counter attack they were so quick to break out from their defensive positions and this is Ronaldo at his best he's composed he shows great technique and he just smashes it Beyond The Keeper well a dramatic moment near the end and that might well be the decider crisano Rono Raina and he keeps going could be and uper grounds off the keeper who's going to win this GH oh a goal to level is up in the closing stages who's going to claim the trophy it's an open question here well here it is again and what a perfect cross into the box this is just inviting someone to attack it and the Finish is just as good that's an excellent goal go well for neutrals this is a joy 55us Perera and the search goes on for a winner time is [Applause] tight and he has options available has a go and a fantastic diving save [Applause] can someone get on the end of this well a bit short with the clearance well they surviv the attack well the counter chance looks very real and Bernardo Silva has it can he put them in front no is the answer to the question and that could be so important at this stage well will they get another chance that would surely have won the game for them delivering it well did his job defensively phelix and the referee is quite rightly letting it go Giovani Raina still pushing for what could be a winner they cannot be separated here and it's on to extra time [Applause] still a chance so away they go again the first period of extra time and it's legitimate to ask to what extent mental strength will come into this looking forward to it must take the lead here oh but he's missed it how on Earth is this still Level well I just don't know dere just a real lack of composure in the end they should be ahead [Applause] now and with that the attack Fizzles out and the Counterattack is on options available and he's made Headway sound piece of [Applause] goalkeeping DeAndre Yedlin Jesus fera passing it around looking for the goal that would put them ahead VTO fera William carvalo Leal could be determined defending [Applause] arenson he has teammates around him and he was in the right place to intercept and one minute of stoppage time has been added on halime in extra time and still they are [Applause] Level still a well on they go second period of extra time is underway [Applause] oh he looks threatening cred it to him for the [Applause] recovery now counterattacking possibilities here Defenders need to cover oh could be but I'm not sure of the pressure got to him but easy for the keeper well it's a decent save by the goalkeeper but he should be doing better than there Jesus fera Brendan arenson going get a try oh a goal and how important could that be maybe it's a story of one hand on the trophy at this stage of the final a huge moment well as you can see he's a dangerous Runner with the ball he has such good balance and Pace that's a top class goal isn't [Applause] it what a big moment in the dying Embers will it prove decisive [Applause] here he's in with a chance and it's a goal level again what a match this is turning out to be [Applause] well here it is again and they've taken their goal well but the defending was non-existent that should never [Applause] happen and level again here this has been quite the roller coaster [Applause] ride tension building still level can he put them in front can they cover up a time for calm on the ball well a fantastic final and it's going to end of the most nerve shreding way possible with a penalty shootout [Applause] and this will test the mentality of any footballer and he succeeds in finding the bottom corner can he keep us cool and he's denied them from the [Applause] spot and the keeper makes the all important save what a big moment and that is when you need your goalkeeper well the keeper reacted magnificently and just like that he's come up with the [Applause] save in it goes such high levels of pressure he must score to keep his side in it oh that's it the final in the drama one team jubilant the other distraught well what an ending to a very good tournament and I think they fully deserve to win it maybe not in this manner though but it was great entertainment it certainly was and they're not going to forget this in a hurry a proud moment for everyone involved with the club but for their opponents it's a case of trying to forget and move on as quickly as possible well I think we should give them some credit too they played their part in What was an excellent contest some of their football was brilliant yes fair play Stuart the party in full swing now it's going to be quite the night of Celebration here [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
