World Cup 2018: Cristiano Ronaldo saves Portugal point with hat trick

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo displayed his best tricks Friday in a 3-3 draw against Spain at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Renowned as one of the best players of all time, Ronaldo scored three goals in Portugal's opener, with his third tying the score and saving Portugal a point.

Ronaldo scored his first goal in the fourth minute after winning a penalty. He calmly stepped up to the penalty spot and slotted it in the right corner. He then scored again in the 44th minute with a calm strike from the center of the box.

Portugal had a 2-1 lead entering the break, but Spain scored two quick goals to start the second half. But Ronaldo saved the day in the 88th minute with a classy free kick bending its way into the net.

With Iran winning their first game against Morocco, they stand atop the table in Group B with three points. Spain and Portugal are second with one point apiece.

Ronaldo helped Portugal win the 2016 Euros, and he looks poised to maintain the magic this summer.
