Portugal 1-0 Russia: Ronaldo's specialness

VIỆT ANH |

The moment Cristiano Ronaldo scored the only goal in the Portuguese Open's minimal victory over Russia was not necessarily the best image in this match.

This is a match taking place on the evening of June 21, Vietnam time on Spartak Stadium in the second round of Group A of the Confed Cup 2017.

As usual, when the two teams enter the field, they will always go with the girls and the mascot boys. However, the person accompanying Cristiano Ronaldo in this match is special. Her name is Polina Haeredinova, a 10-year-old disabled girl who has to move in a wheelchair.

During her appearances at Spartak Stadium, she always smiled brightly when honored to accompany the Real Madrid superstar. Moreover, CR7 also gave him a kiss with a jersey from the Portuguese national team.

Talking about these memorable moments, little Haeredinova confided: I could not have imagined that I would have such a wonderful experience. Cristiano Ronaldo stands out. She gave him a shirt and a kiss as a wish. He was in indescribable emotions and supported by Russian fans. I have never had such an experience in my life.

Returning to the developments of this match, the Portuguese DT opened the score in the first dangerous attack. In the 8th minute, Borussia Dortmund defender - Raphael Guerreiro had a fairly favorable cross from the left wing to facilitate Ronaldo's header to score.

After this goal, the first half of the match took place at a low pace and the reigning EURO champions were the team with more opportunities. However, the audience on the stadium did not celebrate any more.

The gap between the two teams was quite fragile, so the Portuguese AFC tried to attack in the second half even though it was not very effective. Striker Andre Silva had 2 dangerous shots before being substituted but both failed to score. For Ronaldo, the not-so-dangerous header in the 63rd minute was his most notable situation in the second half.

On the other side of the pitch, the home team's efforts were unable to beat goalkeeper patricio. For that reason, the Russian Open had to accept a 0-1 loss. Once again, Cristiano Ronaldo was voted the best player of the match by fans.

With 3 points, the Portuguese Open has 4 points after the second match of Group A. They are in 2nd place because they are behind the top team Mexico in the secondary index. Meanwhile, DT Russia has 3 points, standing in 3rd place in the group.
