World footballer of the year, Cristiano Ronaldo, will certainly be
flying the flag of his nation, Portugal, in the Russia 2018 World Cup,
possibly his last shot at World Cup glory, then he'll be 33, after
helping his home nation beat Switzerland 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Portugal entered the match three points behind Switzerland, and knew
that only a win will send them to the World Cup finals, avoiding a nerve
wrecking play-off match.
Ronaldo was absent due to an injury when Switzerland beat Portugal
last year, but this time he was not going to let his team take a defeat
for an answer as they took the lead after defender Johan Djourou scored
an own goal four minutes before half-time then Andre Silva doubled the
home side's lead on the hour mark after neat build up play involving
Bernardo Silva.
