Cristiano Ronaldo: Goal vs. Sweden Puts Portugal on Brink of World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo put Portugal in the drive’s seat for the World Cup next summer. The Real Madrid super-duper star collected a ball from deep and make a trademark run, finishing with aplomb past keeper Andreas Isaksson. It put Portugal ahead 2-0 on aggregate in their World Cup playoff with Sweden.

Ronaldo scored in both legs of the playoff, last week with a diving header and Tuesday with this dash-and-smash which he made look effortless.
