Brazil

Ronaldo opens the scoring in the 2002 World Cup final with a sharp and instinctive finish, putting Brazil on the path to their fifth world title. The goal comes after a powerful shot from Rivaldo at the edge of the box, which the goalkeeper spills into Ronaldo’s path. Reacting quicker than anyone, he pounces on the loose ball and calmly slots it past the goalkeeper. His anticipation, quick reflexes, and composure in the biggest moment showcase why he is one of the greatest strikers of all time.
