Cristiano Ronaldo heads the ball to score his second goal against Andorra. Photo ReutersCristiano Ronaldo scored four goals, including two in the first five minutes, to lead European champions Portugal to a 6-0 win over nine-man Andorra in their World Cup qualifier. The win got Portugal off the mark in Group B after a shock 2-0 defeat away to Switzerland in their opening game last month when Ronaldo was missing through injury. Andorra's Jordi Rubio was dismissed in the 62nd minute and Marc Rebes followed nine minutes later, both for fouling Ronaldo. "We knew that the first goal would be really important against a team which puts 11 players behind the ball," said Ronaldo.
