Cristiano Ronaldo scores an awesome header to give Portugal the lead.Portugal won a corner on the left, though Wales thought there was a foul that should have gone their way. It was played short to Guerreiro, who curved a delicious first-time ball to the far post. Ronaldo rose majestically eight yards from goal, muscling Chester aside, and thumped a header high into the net. Hennessey had no chance. Ronaldo hung in the air for an age. It was similar in nature to his memorable goal at Roma in the Champions League in 2007-08; in context, it might be even better. It was simply immense.
If the first goal was majestic, this is exasperatingly scruffy from a Wales point of view. Ronaldo, 25 yards from goal to the right of centre, mishit a low cross-shot that fell perfectly for Nani, who stretched to slide it past Hennessey from close-range.
