20 most important goals in Cristiano Ronaldo's career

#13 The equaliser for Portugal against Spain in the 2018 World Cup

The freekick that snatched Spain's victory to hand Portugal a point

A rollercoaster of a game that Spain and Portugal played like boxers, trading blows and constantly moving, dodging and landing hits. It was Portugal that started the part with Ronaldo scoring an early penalty.

Spain's answer to that was Diego Costa who scored a sublime equaliser seemingly out of a nothing chance. Portugal would take the lead again through Ronaldo only for Costa to equalise and Nacho to strike with a pure hit to put Spain ahead.

Trailing 3-2 with barely minutes to go, Portugal won a freekick in Ronaldo territory. The magician stepped up and smashed the ball with his wand of a right foot and it curled past the wall to nestle in the top corner leaving Portugal to wheel away in celebration as they had just played out a fascinating 3-3 encounter in which Ronaldo scored all three of Portugal's goals.
