Not only was this a superb piece of intuitive decision-making, but it's something he did fairly regularly whilst playing in Brasil.
Speaks for itself.

There was one Ronaldo nearly scored for Portugal. Seem to remember he beat a few players and chipped the keeper, only for an offside Nani to head it in on the goal line.

I seemed to remember that he beat a few players too, but upon re-watching it was "just" the one. Alas, what was Nani thinking?

He’s definitely onside there, and then the ball looks over the line too :lol:
