Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has finally broken his duck of never scoring a free-kick for his country at a major international tournament – on the 45th attempt. Ronaldo had failed at 44 direct set-pieces at World and European Championships before stepping up to tuck home into the top-right corner of De Gea’s goal from 20 yards and complete his first World Cup hat-trick in stunning fashion, with only three minutes to play in Friday’s Group B clash against Spain.
