Cristiano Ronaldo looked set to shoot directly, but instead, he flicked it away with his heel again.
The ball arrived at B. Fee's feet.
This position was simply perfect.
Bang!
"GOOO—AAAA—LLL!!!"

Bruno Fernandes!
Bruno Fernandes had his second of the match!
3:2!

"Roar!!!"
B. Fee clenched both fists and roared.
The Portuguese midfielder wore a ferocious expression, though he was a little too skinny to look truly intimidating.
"Beautiful, beautiful!"
"Haha!"
Cristiano Ronaldo spread his arms and pulled his teammate into an embrace, while Santos applauded nonstop.
"Bruno!"

"Yes, the only player to score a hat trick in the knockout stage of this World Cup so far."
Cristiano Ronaldo high-fived Gonçalo Ramos. "Keep it up! Be careful—we're already winning!"
After leaving the pitch and reaching the bench, Cristiano Ronaldo only took a quick drink before returning to the sidelines. He shouted instructions and gestured constantly, seemingly becoming Santos's assistant.
"Cristiano Ronaldo... Haha, he really wants to win."
"Portugal do have the advantage now, but I think China national football team should still have some chances."
The moment his colleague finished speaking, Zhan Jun immediately sensed that something was off.
Portugal had begun defending!
Even Rafael Leão,
