Ronaldo sealed his hat-trick with a perfect free-kick

Ronaldo is the main man for Portugal, and he showed why once more on Friday, stamping his name on his nation's tie against Spain. 

The Real Madrid man had already netted twice against the country where he resides in the Group B clash, opening the scoring with a penalty in the early stages of the game, before striking past David De Gea towards the end of the first half.

However, after goals from Nacho and Diego Costa dragged the game back in Spain's favour, Cristiano stepped up once again. 

Portugal won a free-kick in the 87th minute, after Gerard Pique shoved his rival Ronaldo to the floor just outside the penalty area. There was only one man to take it, and Ronaldo seized the opportunity. 

He struck the set-piece, curling it over the wall, into the top corner. David De Gea got nowhere near it, and it nestled in the top corner, levelling the game at 3-3.
