Cristiano Ronaldo rode last-ditch tackles and off-pitch controversies to lift Portugal to their second win of Euro 2008.
Ronaldo played a starring role in Portugal's 3-1 win over Czech Republic after scoring one and making another goal.
Although Petr Cech's numerous world-class saves almost rivaled the Portuguese winger for the Man-of-the-match award, Ronaldo copped all players with a performance worthy of his tag as the English Premier League's best player.
And looking at his current form, Ronaldo could be set to become this tournament's best player as well.
The question now is can Ronaldo help erase the bitter memories of Euro 2004 when his country, as hosts, lost to Greece in the final?
