Not many teams, club or international, have had much luck even slowing down Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018. But the Netherlands did that and more on Monday as they held the star attacker to one of his worst performances of the season in a 3-0 win over Portugal.
The Oranje ran rampant in the friendly at the Stade de Geneve, with Memphis Depay, Ryan Babel and Virgil van Dijk finding the back of the net in the victory.
The Dutch back line of Van Dijk, Matthijs De Ligt and Nathan Ake faced the unenviable task of trying to contain Ronaldo, who not only entered having scored in nine straight games, but had picked up at least a double in seven of those contests.
