Here is the story of the match and Cristiano Ronaldo's performance: The Match Story The semi-final was a tense, highly tactical battle defined by a single decisive moment. In the 33rd minute, Ricardo Carvalho fouled Thierry Henry in the penalty area. French captain Zinedine Zidane converted the penalty, beating Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo to put France ahead 1–0. Portugal dominated possession for long stretches and pressed hard for an equalizer in the second half, but a disciplined French defense led by Lilian Thuram and Claude Makélélé successfully neutralized Portugal's attack until the final whistle.#CristianoRonaldo #FootballLegend #FootballHistory
