00:00yes a place on football's ultimate stage is up for grabs now in the next 90 minutes or so
00:11205 days till the big brazilian party begins but only one of these two great talents and these two
00:19teams will receive an invitation a wonderful stage we hope a wonderful night portugal
00:29holding the advantage with their reshaped attack hugo almeida there making only his
00:33second start of this qualification campaign germany got control how do you see it how would
00:39you go at it who's andy from sweden's point of view they have to put something different
00:43shellstrom hoping to get there and he was hoping to receive it on that wonderful level
00:50martin olsen hoping for a free kick and
00:52india sing abrahamovic and catching it let's dig it out not on this occasion
01:04javier cuentrao may well be penalized for a high one here on this day
01:08i do feel that's the way for abrahamovich again
01:12he's some higher up the field and i'd say as did cristiano ronaldo actually
01:16some useful weapons in there one of them is bruno alvarez and isaacson having to produce the same
01:23it's a really tidy head and what makes it difficult for isaacson is the way the ball
01:26just bounces in front of him nice turn and promise here for the swedes
01:33almander applauding his club mates and the swedish team
01:36isaacson is the way the ball just bounces in front of him nice turn and promise here
01:41for the swedes almander applauding his club mates effort the idea was certainly right and
01:48he's been really positive actually martin olsen ronaldo temperatures when they trained here here's
01:57ronaldo
02:03well he's saying where were you in terms of the support the targets to aim for
02:09playing for a draw comes naturally abrahamovich fed by almander into trouble
02:15in the shape of charmatino for abrahamovich cuentrao to intercept and win a free kick
02:22so screen in front of the backcourt
02:34ronaldo's on the charge cut off at the pass by bear nelson
02:38in one moment the threat that portugal have if ronaldo
02:44rasmus elm stepped in
02:46up goes ronaldo
02:52look wide it goes
02:55in first touch some space has opened up and isaacson hangs on
03:03that's a decent strike but it's not the most powerful shot that ronaldo has ever struck
03:06so portugal are breaking and getting players in space
03:09nanny ducked underneath it ronaldo coming in
03:12now beating the ground in frustration it would have been some goal had it hit the target
03:17the chances just keep coming but this is a very very difficult offer they found a way through
03:23really momentarily
03:26ronaldo's in behind here and that spells danger almeida's up there with him
03:33and he cannot take the chance i'll tell you what if almeida has scored here there would have been
03:39certainly controversy because almanda had been down for a long long time i think sweden were
03:42looking for portugal looking towards ibrahimovic and now shellstrom
03:51on that lovely left foot and at last the test for rui patricio will be a routine one
03:56let's take a 41 minutes but better play and get some decent quality into ibrahimovic who
04:01brings the shellstrom into the game he's a long long way out it's a beautiful strong
04:05on for nanny ronaldo coming near post here he is
04:14another extremely worrying moment from a swedish point of view
04:17it's a fabulous attack i just wonder whether ronaldo
04:21that's better but ronaldo able to defend it first time of asking ibrahimovic well not
04:27straightforward the first effort of any sort from zlatan on second leg night it's not easy
04:35with a point of view for sweden portugal certainly the more threatening bruno alves bringing a
04:40brilliant save out of anthony abrahamovich in the box arriving but this is fabio contrao
04:46might pick away through ronaldo and isaacson is there again
04:49it's a brilliant save in the end from isaacson offside flag had already gone up
04:59well abrahamovich bustling trying to find a way in behind he has done surely now
05:04oh it's rui patricio's turn to produce
05:09oh sepp larsen with a chance alves with a header
05:12oh what a beautiful ball now it's cristiano ronaldo with a chance maybe to seal it and he
05:22has taken it they're one step closer to brazil thanks to cristiano ronaldo it's a fabulous
05:32forward ball but as soon as ronaldo takes his first touch here you pretty much know
05:36what is going to happen because in world football in front of goal this man is absolutely devastating
05:42as the game started to open up sweden had a great chance to score the opening goal but
05:46straight down the other end ronaldo well he just doesn't pass up chances like this and isaacson
05:58ronaldo larsen beyond lustig banana promise here he's made the difference in both legs and he was
06:09nearing full pelt there howard webb there was no case for a free kick
06:14trumpetera bringing it away oh by anderson who is unreceiving yellow card that swedish central
06:21midfield fair to ronaldo oh that's beautiful and tunes can he get there it's lustic with
06:27a very timely challenge that's another aspect of ronaldo's game the way he can
06:32do well beyond him but in ibrahimovic has finally arrived and there is a glimmer of hope for sweden
06:45it's a really decent ball in but it's shocking defending from the portuguese we know
06:49ibrahimovic is a big lad and he's more than capable in the air but he doesn't have to do
06:53an awful lot to score here can he turn or shelstrom goes down but howard webb points
06:59the other way well he was right on the spot but he didn't point to it this really is a massive
07:05call but there's not an awful lot of debate from shelstrom having to make that that looked
07:10a foul by beroso right on the edge of the penalty area it's amazing what a goal can do for a team
07:16suddenly sweden flying forward portugal it's ibrahimovic he's done it
07:22and one more will do it for sweden incredible stuff well this is quite extraordinary and
07:32actually when the ball is right on the edge of the penalty area like this it is so difficult
07:36to be precise to whip it maybe into the top corner and ibrahimovic just decides i'm going to put my
07:40foot through this and blast it if he gets past the wall just past the keeper before patricio can
07:45even blink and the ibrahimovic welcome to international football it's his first cap
07:52and now ronaldo
08:00howard webb in carpalia blocking the road but now it's ronaldo who can break again
08:07and can he kill the swedish dream he has done surely
08:16well when he's around you've always got a chance
08:21and he's once again leading the personal battle he may just have finally led portugal to the world
08:28cup finals they could well have broken swedish hearts here because they've in the last 10 minutes
08:33or so turned the game on its head but there's one question as well it's certainly worth doing
08:38if you get the chance once more it's two goals they need but it's a chance for ronaldo again
08:49hat trick he has written his name all over this time and there is no doubt now he's paved their
08:57path to rio it's absolutely incredible his movement his first touch and his finishing
09:04tonight has just been extraordinary this swedish fan shaking their heads the coach is shaking his
09:09head he cannot believe what he's seeing here but this is why ronaldo is so renowned in world
09:13football his finishing ability everything about his game is top-notch and tonight ronaldo again
09:20well he's not finished for the night oh elmanda it may not be finished yet wild in the end
09:34and bruno hit him very quickly in fairness but that's a lovely touch by ronaldo
09:41what a performance he's produced tonight
09:44he might just cap it all with another stunning moment real touches of genius from
09:49cristiano ronaldo and that another one there just the way he thinks that individually it's almanda
09:56you know uh on the day of the quarterfinal against germany here's ronaldo
10:04oh there's nothing almost nothing beyond this man
10:13whistle in mouth and that signals that portugal are on their way to brazil irrepressible
10:21irreplaceable a rampant ronaldo has delivered a magnificent individual performance to end
10:28sweden's hopes and send portugal on their way a hat trick on the night a goal in the
10:34first leg when it was all about determination drive and will to win
