Ronaldo so close to a fourth - Pereira lays it back to him, and he fires a shot across the face of goal, but it goes wide.

So Ronaldo will be at the World Cup, and he has carried his country there. Simply extraordinary.

GOAL - RONALDO SEALS IT FOR PORTUGAL! Incredible, again. Ronaldo has a hat-trick. A beautiful pass by Moutinho sets him away, he takes it round Isaksson and fires past two defenders on the line. What a player.
78'
This game really has lived up to the Ronaldo v Zlatan hype, and it looks like the former will win out.

GOAL - INCREDIBLE, RONALDO SCORES FOR PORTUGAL! Almeida sets Ronaldo in on goal on the left side of the area, and he buries it into the bottom corner. Remarkable scenes.
