CRISTIANO RONALDO

In a remarkable spell of football, we've had four goals in a little over ten minutes.

CRISTIANO RONALDO answered Zlatan IBRAHIMOVIC's (SWE) Swedish rallying cry with a

devastating double, and it looks as though

Paulo Bento's side are on their way to Brazil.

Croatia have qualified for the FIFA World Cup

FULL-TIME: Croatia have qualified for the FIFA World Cup! Iceland looked like they may

have had a chance with a man-advantage in the second half, but Darijo SRNA (CRO) quickly

scored to double the hosts lead, and Niko Kovac's side never looked back. It was a good run

for the visitors, who were 90 minutes away from their first World Cup finals, but Croatia

proved to be too strong. Two matches are still being contested elsewhere in Europe, so stay

with us to see who will join Croatia in Brazil next summer.

EGYPT VS GHANA

sweden vs portugal

Tonight is the last chance for Zlatan and the Swedish

National Team.

International goals

Ibrahimovic 46 in 95 appearances (0.48 goals per game)

Ronaldo 44 in 108 appearances (0.4 goals per game)

After Friday's play-off, both players are now three goals behind their country's record goalscorer. Ronaldo is closing in on Pauleta's record, while Ibrahimovic will be hoping to catch up to Sven Rydell in Solna on Tuesday. They both opened their international account in 2004. Ibrahimovic scored the only goal in a friendly against England in March of that year, while Ronaldo grabbed a late consolation at UEFA EURO 2004 against eventual winners Greece in a 2-1 defeat for the hosts.
