cross managed to get it away Xiao canel looks to slip it through what a save terrific re [Applause] [Music] strong and firm gets it back Cristiano Ronaldo brovich gets his foot in there and it's kovic tries a through ball now here's the through ball terich did well to pick out terich but he was just unable to find a [Applause] shot he's got the ball he's got the space and the flag has stayed down he is not one read to admit defeat don't be surprised if he tries that again yeah it wouldn't have been the most eye-catching goal we'd seen ultimately the numbers prevented him from scrambling it [Applause] in terasic oh red he sorted that out it's a long forward pass chisti out tries to stroke it through terasic kovic now the pass sh too heavy keep can pick that up what the hell is this place let's just get this thing and get out of here quickly Cristiano Ronaldo Cristiano Ronaldo can't hurt you with his back to go and I think if they can keep from facing in that direction then the only thing he can do really is to just lay the ball off and and he's not really going to cause much trouble if he continues doing that so I think they're defending him very very well passes it through away from immediate danger Jesus that's not the cross he had in mind screw this has a swing at it not sure right FES past the post do you think this contains the heart Harvey wants [Applause] yeah a long pass towards the front parich what are you waiting for take it already promising cross that's not going to find it Target for no no no no please [Music] no please help me someone help me please with the first please no no please help me Cristiano Ronaldo try to through ball it's there two up I'm threatening to pull clear given such an open invitation he was always going to shoot I just think it's clever positioning from clever movement and when all of that is synchronized with the right pass that's what happens [Applause] [Music] Portugal have a couple of goals without reply it's 2N well at one n this contest was still nicely poised but now that it's gone to two mindsets are affected a lot more winning belief one way and that losing feeling the [Applause] other not through and he's straight off side look all it needs now is a slightly later run beyond that defend and the flag will stay down it's a move that looks very promising and of course the timing is absolutely key and the other two and it's Cristiano Ronaldo they're dead Cristiano Ronaldo that's gone a long way up and away two boys died trying to get that heart for you doesn't that mean anything to you well it means I'm left empty-handed that's a problem for us both out will be a throw in again [Music] she is it out of H's way no she's failed to deliver please pleas next don't do this I tried it's a very good battle there terrific to watch stop please I'm begging you stop please spooned forward parich don't make me kill you too no surprise at all that this is the guy who's had such a positive impact well having that sort of player in your side is reassuring because the rest of the team knows he can make an influence count at any stage it's simply part of his package when he really wants to this fell scores he's all I have [Music] stop that's enough for [Applause] [Music] now a well intercepted really alerts the danger I'll go back to that place I will not fail you again no I'm thinking something bigger there's nothing bigger in the world of paranormal collections than the that's a demon so powerful it had to be contained towards the front [Music] line there is the halim whistle behind Peter
