The 2018 World Cup just coughed up a classic. This match had everything, starting from an early penalty, a goalkeeping blooper by none other than David De Gea, an absolute screamer from Nacho Fernandez which was the second of two goals scored within three minutes that helped Spain overturn a 2-1 deficit and finally, a top-drawer Cristiano Ronaldo free-kick that helped him complete his hat-trick. Spain conceded just three goals in their entire qualification campaign and Ronaldo knocked as many goals past them in the very first match. The World Cup opening ceremony may have been on Thursday, but we can now say that it has well and truly arrived.
