The Day Portuguese Fans Will Never Forget 2
Transcript
00:00The hosts, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, who's 53rd career hat-trick, saw Portugal pass Switzerland.
00:08Bernardo Silva, hoping to cap a remarkable season with a fourth trophy.
00:13Out to stop them, the European Cup winner Virgil van Dijk, and alongside him at the back, the Ajax skipper.
00:20Another European trophy to add to Euro 2016, with the first Nations League trophy.
00:27We're talking about the value of this tournament.
00:30We've come down to the final two on a stage like this, with an atmosphere like this.
00:35Has it proved worthwhile?
00:37Well, listen, it was a tournament where it was made, so it was...
01:11A climax.
01:13I've seen him several times this season, he's been much better than that.
01:18Seems he was fouled there.
01:20What an opportunity here for Bernardo Silva.
01:22Here's the meat of the sandwich.
01:26Referee from Spain, Alberto Indiana Mayenko, not at all interested in his club.
01:32Portugal building here.
01:34And Bruno Fernandes takes aim.
01:41He's scored a lot of goals this season.
01:43That's an excuse. This is Ronaldo.
01:47Bruno Fernandes, and in the way is Dele Blit.
01:58He's going to take aim again.
02:00And William Carvalho's presence could have made life very awkward for Silasson there.
02:05Just needed the slightest of touches there, Carvalho.
02:09And I think he would have scored.
02:16A little knock, Meg.
02:21Depay on hand, may not need him, but a crucial challenge by Diaz.
02:30They were outnumbered there, the pair, but Depay made up an awful lot of ground.
02:34That's Ronaldo.
02:36Van Dijk, close at hand.
02:40And they couldn't resist that one when it bounced up in front of him.
02:45Something a little different each time.
02:48And Silasson able to plunge and pounce.
02:53It was Jose Fontu who got his head to it in the end.
03:01He will see opportunities.
03:03Dele Blit standing up to the challenge.
03:05Bruno Fernandes!
03:10Safety from Silasson.
03:11Yeah, lovely effort, you could see what he was trying to do.
03:14Maybe hit it with a better cut on it.
03:16Certainly a bit of dip.
03:20Rafael Guerrero.
03:22Ronaldo!
03:24The flag went up.
03:27Silasson able to react, but...
03:34Those dancing feet.
03:35Delivery at the other end.
03:37But here is Ronaldo.
03:40Ganesh.
03:42Silva.
03:43He's got help.
03:44Bruno Fernandes!
03:48Well, that's three shots on goal, he's had no Fernandes.
03:54It falls away, Bernardo Silva again.
03:56Bruno Fernandes!
04:00He's not getting any closer.
04:03You can see from the expression of Bernardo Silva.
04:07They'll feel, the Portugal lads, they should be ahead by now.
04:11The positions they've got into.
04:13Ronaldo, beautiful.
04:19Away from Denzel Dumfries, it's opened up.
04:27Another effort on target.
04:32And on again, Nelson Samedo.
04:42Corner in the end.
04:45Just the two centre-backs are on the pitch.
04:49Portugal with less possession,
04:51are certainly causing the greater threat.
04:53The familiar face,
04:55enters the front.
04:58Cry of Stevie from Quincy Promes.
05:00And they've made an in-road here, Bergwijn.
05:16He wasn't at his best.
05:17All the way up to De Puy.
05:18One out of his own side, the flag is still there.
05:20And it's a goal.
05:21And it's a goal.
05:22And it's a goal.
05:23And it's a goal.
05:24And it's a goal.
05:25And it's a goal.
05:26And it's a goal.
05:27And it's a goal.
05:28And it's a goal.
05:30And it's a goal.
05:38It's a really frustrating move.
05:40De Puy's cross
05:46Now Ronaldo, this is the danger they have to contend with
05:50Strength enough to get beyond that
05:55Van Dijk, reading the situation again
06:00He did ever so well
06:01Fontena Ronaldo prepared to attack this one
06:03Ronaldo does again and scores a mate
06:05Yes for Sillerson with a little bit of...
06:10Ronaldo Silva
06:12Urgent action from the left
06:17You don't often see that happen
06:20Into De Puy
06:23Not afforded recovery but De Puy will get there
06:28And Rui Patricio in the end turning it to safety
06:31Determination from De Puy
06:33Jose Font was in charge here but he allows De Puy
06:36That's why he can't believe it
06:38Guedes
06:40Ronaldo Silva
06:42Guedes
06:45Breakthrough
06:51An outpouring of joy in Porto
06:54Ronaldo
07:00Portugal strike first in the Nations League final
07:05And what a strike it was as well
07:07Guedes
07:09Beautifully struck
07:12Right in the corner it appeared to be
07:15The little nutmeg here
07:19And
07:21Patricio
07:22Rui Patricio able to gather
07:25But Memphis De Puy rising there
07:27And that was certainly a nervous moment
07:37The ball company
07:39They've had a share of the blame
07:40Ronaldo Silva trying to make his way through
07:45Alonso Derone coming on to it
07:51An opportunity to at least test the goalkeeper
07:54Yeah
07:55Just to keep it down
07:58Coming on to it
08:02And decided they didn't need to
08:04Oh brilliant effort from Bruno Fernandes but
08:07Straight forward in the end
08:08Vasilisan
08:09Got a good shot on him hasn't he?
08:12Very unfamiliar role
08:15And he's matched him
08:16And up he goes
08:17Van der Beek
08:19Oh and Rui Patricio
08:21In the end only turning it behind and the Dutch appealing
08:27Kept it alive here
08:28De Jong
08:34Well
08:35A more than decent chance
08:38Oh and a chance on here for Nelson Samedo
08:40Well
08:41Towards his feet
08:42Ball in from Promes
08:48Here it goes
08:50The party can begin
08:53The Nations League crown
08:55Belongs to Portugal
09:02Gonzalo Guedes
09:04The man stealing the limelight
09:18And that's
09:19It
09:21His strike
09:22The one that ultimately has made the difference
09:26Ronaldo the hero of the semi-final
09:29But they really stood firm
09:31As a team
09:32As well
09:33We've had an entertaining week here in Portugal
09:34They beat Switzerland
09:35We had a great game between
09:36England and the Dutch which
09:37The Dutch came through in extra time
09:39But Portugal were too good for them today
09:41Earlier we saw
09:42England beat
09:43Over there
09:46Oh no he is going to get it here
