Bruno Fernandes put the pressure on high up the field and laid the ball off to compatriot Ronaldo.
Ronaldo did his trademark ‘chop’ and played a perfectly weighted pass into the path of strike partner Edinson Cavani.
When Cavani gets one-on-one with the goalkeeper, you know what’s coming next. The Uruguayan made no mistake, dinking the ball over Hugo Lloris. What a goal!
CAVANI MAKES IT TWO ?
