| Cristiano Ronaldo |
Cristiano Ronaldo, upset by Juventus' heartbreak at the
hands of Ajax in this year's UEFA champions League, inspired his Portugal team
as they beat Netherlands 1-0 on Sunday night.
A lot of hype had gone into the match knowing that a win for
Ronaldo, could increase his chances of another Ballon D'or title, while a win
for Netherlands, could aid Liverpool defender, Virgil Van Dijk, in his quest
for a maiden Ballon D'or award.
Cristiano Ronaldo leads Portugal to victory against
Netherlands to win the maiden Nations League trophy
Portugal and Netherlands, who defeated Switzerland and
England respectively to reach the Nations League Finals, didn't have much clear
cut chances in the first half , but in the second half, Guedes took the
opportunity and slotted his shot past the Netherlands goalkeeper whose hands
couldn't hold back the ferocious shot.
Cristiano Ronaldo leads Portugal to victory against
Netherlands to win the maiden Nations League trophy Since Fernando Santos was
appointed in Sept 2014, Portugal have lost only 2 of 41 competitive
internationals in normal time, winning Euro 2016 and the inaugural Nations
league
