Portugal fans and neutrals hoping for a splash edition of the
Cristiano Ronaldo roadshow had their appetite satisfied as he
single-handedly steered his country into the Uefa Euro 2012™ semifinals
by beating the Czech Republic 1-0.
Ronaldo showed the same kind of sparkle that saw the Portugal captain
dominate play and claim a brace in his team's 2-1 defeat of the
Netherlands last Sunday - goals he had dedicated to his son, who turned
two the same day.
So often maligned for failing to recapture his Real Madrid form when
wearing the Portugal shirt, Ronaldo's 79th-minute header took his Euro
2012 tally to three, making him joint top scorer with Germany's Mario
Gomez - plus Russia's Alan Dzagoev and Croatia's Mario Mandzukic, whose
teams failed to advance from the group stage.
