- Sweden vs Portugal 2-3 - World Cup 2014 Qualification | All Goals & Highlights
Portugal led 1-0 going into the second leg and dominated before Ronaldo's angled drive deservedly put them ahead.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic levelled on the night with a free header before he lashed in a free-kick as the hosts sensed an unlikely comeback in the tie.
But two quickfire goals from Ronaldo secured Portugal's place in Brazil.
The two-legged tie was billed by many as a battle between Ronaldo and Swedish counterpart Ibrahimovic for the right to showcase their supreme talents on the greatest stage of all next summer.
And the pair failed to disappoint as they became the central figures in a remarkable second half in Stockholm, where all five goals were scored in a 29-minute burst.
Sweden knew they needed to employ a more attack-minded gameplan on home turf after Ronaldo headed in a late winner in Friday's first leg in Lisbon.
But they barely threatened in a first-half performance which lacked quality and any notable opportunities for them to wipe out Portugal's slender advantage.
Erik Hamren's side did start briskly, with Martin Olsson and Alex Kacaniklic combining well down the left on several occasions.
However, they lacked a penetrative final ball and Portugal managed to ride out the pressure before gradually growing in the game, led by Ronaldo.
Rampant Ronaldo
Real Madrid and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick against Sweden took his 2013-14 tally to a remarkable 34 goals in 24 games for club and country.
The treble also moved him level with Pauleta as Portugal's record goalscorer on 47 international strikes.
After defender Bruno Alves's downward header forced Sweden goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson into a save low to his right, the ex-Manchester United player took control of the match and orchestrated every attacking move by the visitors.
He was unable to convert a trio of difficult chances, before he turned provider with a deep cross that Hugo Almeida could only head into the side-netting with the Sweden goal gaping.
Ibrahimovic was a peripheral figure for the Swedes in Lisbon, and was almost as anonymous in the first half on Tuesday.
The Paris St-Germain striker continually dropped deep to receive the ball before half-time, but found more attacking purpose in the early stages of the second half as he pushed further forward.
World Cup woe for Zlatan
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
At the age of 32, Sweden skipper Zlatan Ibrahimovic may not have another opportunity to play in a World Cup finals.
And the tournament would represent a nadir in the Paris St-Germain striker's career. He has never scored at a finals having made two substitute appearances in 2002 and three starts in 2006.
And his tenacious run into the Portuguese box almost instantly paid dividends. The Swedish talisman stretched to scoop the ball back from the byeline to team-mate Seb Larsson who could only poke straight at Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
Within 90 seconds, Ronaldo silenced the noisy Friends Arena by latching on to Joao Moutinho's perfect throughball and smashing in an angled drive.
The opener meant Sweden needed to score three times to turn the tie around, but they were given hope when Ibrahimovic nodded in Kim Kallstrom's right-wing corner after marker Alves barely jumped to challenge.
The partisan Swedish crowd - perhaps taking heart from their team's remarkable comeback from a 4-0 deficit to draw against Group C rivals Germany in October 2012 - rediscovered their voices again when Ibrahimovic thumped in a free-kick on the edge of the Portugal area.
But their hopes were quickly dashed as Ronaldo stole the show at Ibrahimovic's expense.
The 28-year-old produced two more strikes of the highest quality - which even appeared to draw applause from the Sweden skipper.
Ronaldo first latched on to Almeida's throughball to fire beyond Isaksson before rounding the Sweden goalkeeper and blasting in - to spark wild celebrations from the Portuguese camp.

Zlatan: Scored two goals
Ronaldo: Time to go beast mode
Exactly
Lion vs beast
@@grandmaster6215 lion vs Cristiano. Cristiano is different breed
Yup
Time to be Spartacus
Zlatan did everything right, played the perfect game, and it still wasn't enough vs Ronaldo. Just comes to show CR7 is simply on another level.
Masterclass from both of them.
Yeah lets put ronaldo in this shit sweden squad.
The we will see who scores most
Has nothing to do with CR7.
Portugal as a team is just a better team than Sweden. Look how awful Sweden's defence is.
@@chupapibingbong look at me im a joke🤡
It has everything to do with CR7 my dude. He elevates Portugal to another level.
@@chupapibingbong lol "nothing"
After the Portugal 1 - Serbia 2, it reminded me of one of the best games of all times, so here I am watching it again.
Me2
Is this also play-off game?
@@micqhaedash3653 nope its a qualifier game...
Same here bro ❤️
@@larryparker5720 It was a playoff. 2 tie games, Portugal won it 4-2 by aggregate
This game had everything. World Class forwards, refereeing drama, goals from free kicks. Legendary match.
What a game
One of the best competitive international matches ever and it wasn't even in a tournament
All of Ronaldo’s goals were ridiculous but i don’t think enough ppl talk about how perfect those passes/ long balls were to set up each goal 🔥🔥
Because Ronaldo makes the goals look easier
Good passes but not a sure thing. It was still difficult to score from those positions and lesser players probably wouldn't have.
@NMA 55 NIDHIN JOBI then everyone would have 800+ goals
Ridiculous? Do u have eyes?
@@shinobu6993 no actually
The day when ronaldo started living rent free in zaltans head... 😁
Chills to this day🔥 The real lion against a self spoken one.
Exactly
zlatan did score tho
@@king-ij1ly but did he win? isnt a cf/st job to score goals? turning around the match single handedly is not everyone cup of tea
@@kshitizranjeet7016 is not everyoneS cup of tea? thats not the strikers job alone. its a team effort. zlatan did score. so whats your point bro? elaborate
Underrated comment.💯
The goat Cr7 silences the lion 🤣🤣
Ibra still better
Jay Capone dont know about that one mate
@@jaycapone1437 how??
Tsabalala is the best
@@jaycapone1437 how many champions league cup ibra have how many ballon dor ibra have?
Beautiful memories of this match, 3 great goals from three great passes for Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic brace scare and the absolute peak of both these players. This match will live as one of the great ones forever for me.✅✅✅
Watching this game again makes you realise how much he has carried the entire nation on his back, literally putting portugal even in my world cup favourites . The prime reason portugal has a talented squad now is the continous efforts put by ronaldo to inspire all the young players out there. ❤️
No, the reason Portugal has a talented squad is because of investment at a youth level, footbal culture in the country, and the amout of opportunities youngsters have, both at A-squads, B-squads and U-23 squads.
Lol. You speak as if we in Portugal had no prior interest in football before Ronaldo.
- We won x2 the U20 Worldcup;
- had 2 teams winning the UCL x2 each with many portuguese players in their squads;
- been to a World Cup semi-final;
- had Eusébio and Figo winning Ballon d'Or;
- had Eusébio and Fernando Gomes winning the European Golden Shoe 2x each.
All this way before Ronaldo was even a wander kid!
Credit given to Ronaldo for being one of the best during his prime, but not the reason for portuguese kids wanting to play football and football clubs being invested in youth development. It might happened elsewhere, but definitly not here.
@@Atempri93Ronaldo by himself has bigger Achievements than the entire Country of Portugal.
Portugal 2 International Trophies but won thanks to Ronaldo
Nothing to do with Ronaldo, its because at the turn of the century only sporting lisbon was investing in training and developing youth players into the first team, ronaldo was one of those youngsters, however after that benfica, the biggest club in portugal also invested heavily in a world class youth academy, and today both clubs are putting out young talent regularly.
Talent that they then sell to the top teams in europe.
Bernardo silva - benfica
Ruben dias - benfica
Rafael leao - sporting
Bruno fernandes - sporting
Joao palhinha - sporting
Joao felix - benfica
Gonçalo ramos - benfica
There's more, can't remember them all
But the portuguese national used to be comprised mostly of players that would come out of sportings academy, in 2016, the backbone of the national was still players that came from sporting, Ronaldo, quaresma, moutinho, nani, patrício, fonte,joao mario, william Carvalho, miguel veloso,adrian silva to name a few.
Today that is not the case benfica's investment payed of for the national because a surge of talent have arrived coming from these two teams.
Porto does not favour youth development in the way they run the club, its the only way to explain how joao felix that was a Porto player, ended up in benficas academy.
But portugal national talent today has nothing to do with ronaldo, but with the investment the clubs made on youth development.
Not every thing in portugal revolves around ronaldo, he left the country in 2003 for god sake.
He does things even video games can't do, Ronaldo.
@Shadrach George Yup both of them are goats
@Shadrach George Not at all! Missy cannot do all the things Ronaldo does, not even close. Ronaldo can literally score from anywhere in any position, with both feet and is far more athletic, gifted and intelligent and more aggressive in a good way. No, Ronaldo is up above everyone, it's just that obvious and simple.
@@Decimator-jh4gu yes he fucking scored hatrick in world cup Messi can never do it
@Shadrach George No.
@Julian And more no..
"When he's around you've always got a chance"
Prime Ronaldo > all
Ronaldo today, allllllll.
@Niranjan Rajesh Prime ronaldo never got to Play in such a good team like Pep's Barca.
@Niranjan Rajesh If Prime Ronaldo played in a Team like Pep's Barcelona. He would have had 130 goal contributions. No cap
@Niranjan Rajesh Messi has played with Neymar (who is arguably the best player following) and Luis Suarez, 2 of the best forwards of the century, and with Xavi Hernandez and Andrés Iniesta, two of the most dominating center-midfielders of our era.meanwhile Ronaldo was the backbone of real madrid
Messi maradona and Ronaldinho are better
Zlatan vs CR7 epic!!!
Superstars shone in the very match in all respect.
It was not Sweden vs Portugal...Zlatan vs Ronaldo😂😂
Zlatan vs portugal
Nobody is this good... Only CR7 can do these things of epic proportions.
That didn't end well, did it?
The assists and passes from Portugal are on a whole other level
One of the greatest matches ever. True head to head between two of the greats
This guy is a beast.
Two monster in one match 🐐
One of the games for Portugal my grandfather cried to this moment our country deserved this💯🇵🇹
Let’s be real ... Messi can’t do this shit .... he does it over and over and over and over .... never stops ... 101 goals for Portugal 🇵🇹... Portuguese man of war
Kiddo, Watch Argentina vs Ecuador where Messi scored a hat trick to send them to Fifa 2018 WC
@@mrinalkumarbarman8213 stop it … be real cr7 has carried Portugal for years and done way way more for is country then Messi … lol and Messi always had a better team … anyways don’t be a cry baby and bring equador up … they have a bunch of electricians playing and bakers and plumbers playing there … by far cr7 smokes Messi when it comes to national team and with less help … peace ✌️ they both good players and soon no more cr7 and that’s the day we will need a new GOD
True, ronaldo has a large edge in national team.
But don’t say, Argentina gives help to messi. They just have a good lineup but without messi they are nothing.
@@fcporto400 Has CR7 been awarded Player of the tournament in any Euro or Fifa World Cup ?
CR7 won the Euro thanks to Eder.
Portugal didn't even need CR7 to win the finals against the favourites France.
Besides Portugal always had better midfield and defence than Argentina.
Only in the forward line Argentina are way better.
However you can play maximum 3 forwards and the modern game is dictated by midfielders and tournaments are won by great defence
@@fcporto400 Also scoring a hat trick against Ecuador in Ecuador is a superhuman task.
Also none of those goals were tap ins.
The game was played in Quito which is almost 3kms above sea level. The air is thin there.
People who are not adjusted to those conditions may even faint due to the low levels of oxygen.
Ecuador is not Ronaldo's favourite Andorra or Luxembourg.
They are ranked around 50 in the world. Antonio Valencia plays for Ecuador
Iconic moment when he held the armband in his hand.🙌🙌🙌
Most clutch athlete to ever live 🐐
If I were to make a compilation of his late goal wins then it would be an hour long
Best player ever. Love cr7 love his skills.
Legendary
Time to run it back.
One of my greatest games. So much was at stake.
Now these were the real Ronaldo FC days, our team was so shit lol
In front of goal, this man is absolutely devastating.❤
When the GOAT became the Predator and the Lion was the Prey
That day CR7 could have scored FIVE! goals which is beyond comprehensible. I don´t think that people know how hard it is to beat Sweden in Stockholm but to score a hat trick on their turf is insane.
History will repeat and portugal will qualify for world cup 2022 through playOffs. Serbia loss was a disappointment but playoffs are left luckily
Italy is kicking penaldos ass next month
@@robinjacob2643 we will see
@@robinjacob2643 three out of the ten teams in the play offs will go through. So most likely Italy and Portugal will both qualify. And then hopefully Sweden also.
@@robinjacob2643 messi fanboys sure are annoying as hell, you will be disapointed kid, Ronaldo will be in Qatar, no matter who gets in our way, Portugal will be at the world cup, mark my words...
@@thomasethridge4507
But what if Portugal and Italy are in the Same Group and face each other in the Finals of Playoffs. Then only 1 Team can through.
Messi hat trick sends them to 2018 world cup
Ronaldo hat trick sends them to 2014 world cup
2 HEROES OF THEIR COUNTRY
I feel sad for the people who r born after their retirement
sadly ronaldo isn't the same now but messi is amazing this year and i am ronaldo fan
@@hishamkhaled5757 yeah, that 2-3 year difference between them is starting to show. It was inevitable that Ronaldo would hit retirement before Messi. Sad to see the two legends age out :(
@@extremeloco23right now I think that maybe messi will probably retire before Ronaldo 😂
@@tcbbctagain572 😂 ronaldo is a beast
We all miss this ronaldo🥲
The fact that his captains arm band was even coming off when he scored these goals should tell you everything.
2:21 , 4:16 WHAT A PASS BY João Moutinho UNDERRATED BALLER..
deja vu
been there done that
cmon cr7 we believe in u
Looks like he will need to do it again in the playoffs!
who he will be playnig in the playoffs

I remember watching this live this game was more than I could ask for it was truly one of those games matches of the century
World Got to thank Sir Alex Ferguson for making Cristiano Ronaldo
he was already made in Sporting Lisbon
@@Ghanaba23 true
@@Ghanaba23 he wasn't as athletic, he couldn't head the ball well, and he wasn't well known in sporting and Fergusson changed all this.
Wtf?!!!! No one made ronaldo!
He made him self!!
U so stupid mate......CR7 made himself by hard work.....
The ability to use both legs is just amazing..... Beast
One of the greatest football matches In history
Ronaldo has given Ibrahimović a very nice lesson 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
I have to come back here with the current Media battle and disrespect for Legend CR7
The Greatest of all time proved thathe is the real Lion here.
Time to silence the haters again
After this match Zlatan remains salty for rest of his life 🤣🤣
Yes i think this match is the reason why he constantly hates on Ronaldo now
@@giovannilalicata he doesn't hate tho , where you heard Zlatan hates Ronaldo ?
@@itsyusufhassan zlatan keeps saying messi is better
@@giovannilalicata that doesn't mean someone is hating Ronaldo.
That's his personal opinion .
@@itsyusufhassan nope
I recommend watching this to everyone who has been saying that Portugal won't make it to the world cup, history doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme, just stay calm and wait for the show, we are no strangers to play-offs...
Wolfsburg vs Real Madrid (0-3) and Juventus vs Atletico Madrid (3-0) prove your comment.
Wow. Absolutely sublime game…This was months after Zlatan said in an interview that he personally thought Messi was better than Ronaldo.
This was Zlatan vs. Ronaldo.
This shows the unbelievable and undeniable talent of Zlatan. But this caused Ronaldo to go Super Saiyan. Ronaldo knew about the comments and with Zlatan scoring first… Ronaldo became unstoppable.
After loss to Serbia, i instantly came to watch this 😓
The best ever
He is.
Need a performance like this once more.... Italy is going to be Portugal's opponent in play offs (possibly).. Too tough but possible to beat.. Let's hope for the best.... VIVA RONALDO!!!!
This is exactly when the toothless Swedish lion started hating the GOAT Ronaldo with a passion. Ibra was simply blown out the water here.
This is Ronaldo's immortal game.
Now I know why Zlatan hates Ronaldo🤣
Are you idiot?
Fr😂
last goal man what a tight angle
It's happening again.. but we believe in cristiano, Portugal can make it 👍🏽❤️
Run it back cris we believe in you
Two of the best strikers doing their thing.
Literal chills
That was not a normaly Match..it was a masterwork between 2 goats
Who's here after Portugal's in the Play offs again😢

Cristiano comback sure
He shot the first two goals with his left foot. Wow hes a righty
Thats because Ronaldo is the greatest
One of the best games in history
CR7 THE GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!! SUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!.
IM SO PROUD .. BCOZ HE CAN BRING THIER NATIONAL TO THE WORLDCUP. AND HE GET HATRICK.. VERY2 PROUD OF HIM 😘😘
Once in a while I watch the highlights of this legendary game. Zlatan vs Ronaldo fighting for qualification to the wc14 and both have delivered
He will do it again 💪🏼🐐
Cristiano is the real best player in the world!
This is litteraly just Zlatan VS Ronaldo
Here we go again
Ronaldo's captain armband changed from yellow to blue 🐐 for a reason
Cr7 🥺
3:37 Number 9 Sweden 😂😂
Legendary match
What a King!
Actually the assist is also beautiful.
This game was so good
One of the greatest national team matches Ive watched.
Likr that Portugal and ronaldo will beat the Italy in the 2022 and enter into the world cut and as a strong contenders 😘😘🔥🔥they will travel to Qatar 2022🔥
My favourite game of all time. Cr7 could have scored 6 goals on that night
Who is here after Serbia beat Portugal...and now Portugal have to qualify for the world cup through play off
That 3 beautiful assit made my day💫💥
Cr7 be like zlatan! Ask a question I will answer
İ remember this game. İt was beatiful both teams played very well.
2 legends
Levels bro levels no wonder he would hate someone better then him
Prime Cristiano Ronaldo was unstoppable.
Games like this is why Ronaldo is better than Messi in my opinion
But Messi with Argentina was the one on World Cup 2014 Final against Germany. Not Ibra or Ronaldo
It was a goat vs goat moment
🙂
Ronaldos clutches are something that cant be copied
Ronaldo was different in his prime. I am a huge fan of Ibrahimovic, but Ronaldo was unplayable, especially in big games.
These 2 are crazy
It wasnt Sweden vs Portugal
It was Sweden vs RONALDO😈🥶
Cr7 i love you more than my family
idk why but cr7's face is so cute at 4:35

Just CR7 vs Ibra 😁
Ronaldo awesome
