On Friday at 9 pm, the most anticipated matches of the day began at the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi.
In the World Championship Group B match, the national teams of Spain and Portugal met. After a very fierce battle, the match ended in a tie 3:3.
The meeting started without hesitation - C.Ronaldo entered the penalty area, where the Portuguese leader was brought down by Nacho Fernandez.
Despite all the protests from the Spanish players, the referee decided to award a penalty kick, which was accurately executed by the injured player himself - 1:0.
F.Hierro's team answered with a strike by D.Silva.
In the 20th minute, D.Silva once again missed the goal. After a counterattack, the European champions had a great chance to double the score, but in the last moment they lost the ball.
D.Costa shone with individual skill - receiving a high pass, the attacker deceived several defenders and directed the ball towards the goal (1:1).
Shortly after, the Spaniards almost took the lead when the ball hit the goal construction, but did not cross the line.
In the 34th minute, veteran A.Iniesta had a chance, but the ball narrowly missed the target. The half ended with a Portuguese triumph - C.Ronaldo took a strong shot from the penalty area, which D.De Gea failed to save - 2:1.
