The 39-year-old delivered a sensational performance, scoring twice and providing an assist to lead A Selecao into the next round of the competition.

After a goalless first half, Rafael Leão broke the deadlock in the 59th minute. Ronaldo then doubled Portugal’s lead with a cool Panenka-style penalty in the 72nd minute.

Bruno Fernandes added a third in the 80th minute before Ronaldo set up Pedro Neto for Portugal’s fourth.

The highlight of the night came in the 87th minute when Ronaldo connected beautifully with a Vitinha cross to score a sublime overhead kick, sending fans into a frenzy.
