After the first leg, Sweden are 1-0 down, because of a Ronaldo goal, however, with home advantage tonight, will they be able to overturn the goal deficit and win?


Match Updates:

0' The teams are out, the anthems have been sung, and it's Portugal to kick us off!

7' No chances on goal so far, Sweden have been wasteful in the build up though.

15' First shot on goal! And it forces a very good save from Isaksson from a Bruno Alves header after Kacaniklic gave away a free kick mid-way into the Swedish half.

18' Olsson takes a long shot, not far wide, but the keeper isn't troubled.

21' Ronaldo is at the top of the box and is quite wasteful, taking a shot from which it was unlikely for him to score, and not crossing either.

29' Ibrahimovic produces some great skill to earn himself a free kick, which is wasted and Portugal break through Almeida and Ronaldo, but a good tackle comes in and the threat is averted.

33' Corner for Portugal, and Ronaldo rises well, but the timing of his jump is slightly off and it goes wide.

35' Ronaldo cuts in from the right, and takes a shot on his left foot, but it's too weak and Isaksson makes a save.

36' A great ball in from the right for Portugal sees Nani duck underneath the ball and the ball going through to Ronaldo, but his shot goes over.

38' HOW DID HE MISS? Elmander is down for Sweden after Pepe follows through, Portugal break with Ronaldo who puts a cross into the back post for Almeida to have a go with a header, but it's wide! Should have finished it.

42' Chance for Sweden. A long ball is put into Ibra, who chests it down, but a volley goes straight into the arms of Patricio.

43' A chance for Portugal. Nani puts a ball in from the right for Ronaldo, but he shanks his shot wide and over.

45' Corner for Sweden, and it's a bit of a mess, but Ibrahimovic manages to get his shot away but its over the bar.

45' 1 minute added on.

Half time - Sweden 0 - 0 Portugal (Agg - 0-1)

Half Time stats

Half time substitution from Sweden. Svensson Elm

48' Sweden are very very lucky. Coentrao with some excellent dribbling and he lays it off to Ronaldo but his shot is right at Isaksson.

48' Sweden break and its a great save from Patricio from a Larsson effort.

50' GOAL PORTUGAL It's that man Cristiano Ronaldo. A delightful ball from Moutinho puts Ronaldo in 1-on-1 and puts the ball perfectly into the back of the net. A massive goal for Portugal and now Sweden have to score 3. gif Thanks to /u/TomasRoncero

53' Coentrao is down injured - Antunes Coentrao

56' Ronaldo takes a long shot but it goes wide.

57' Ibrahimovic keeps on getting stuck out on the wing Sweden. Not good for them as he puts in a wayward cross.

59' Nani

61' Svensson - Portugal were breaking and Svensson is pretty much forced to stop the attack.

68' GOAL SWEDEN It's Swedens man! Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores from a corner with a strong header! 2 more for Sweden, GAME ON!

70' Kallstrom - A dive in the box

71' A foolish foul from Veloso right on the edge of the box. This is a chance... isn't it?

72' GOAL SWEDEN That free kick was indeed a great chance as Ibrahimovic slams the ball into net. I have goose bumps and I'm not even Swedish! gif Thanks to /u/TomasRoncero

72' Willian Meireles

77' GOAL PORTUGAL I do not believe it. Ronaldo breaks away and puts it away. This match is crazy! Another 2 are needed from Sweden. gif

78' GOAL PORTUGAL Once again, I do not believe it. Ronaldo Is away once again with a delightful ball, and he smashes it home at the near post. All night, Ronaldo has had far too much space down that left hand side and he gets his hat-trick. Surely Sweden can't get 3... surely? gif Thanks to /u/lemonsole for the last 2 gifs

80' And Ronaldo also makes it Portugal's 4th and his 4th. Just wide.

82' Costa Almeida - Durmaz Kacaniklic

83' It's a good chance for Elmander after Ibra knocks the ball down. Wasted though

87' Ronaldo wants more. He's charging at the Swedish defence but his shot is just wide.

90' Gerndt Larsson

90' 5 minutes added on.

90 2' Oh so close for Ronaldo. He contests a header which bounces loose and he gets to it first, but his shot is just wide. Inches.

FULL TIME - SWEDEN 2 - 3 PORTUGAL (Ibrahimovic x2; Ronaldo x3)

PORTUGAL WIN 4-2 ON AGGREGATE AND QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CUP

After a dire first half, The second half exploded with a powerful free kick from Zlatan. However, Swedens lack of a RB showed, and Ronaldo is the worst player you want to exploit that, and he made Sweden pay. A fantastic game though. My favourite match thread that I've done so far. I've loved the comments that have came through tonight, with quite a few making me chuckle, my fingers hurt from typing so much, and I should have been revising for exams this week, but this match was definitely worth it. Thank you all very much for viewing, and I hope you enjoyed the match!

OP's MOTM: Cristiano Ronaldo
