Goal of the Day Ronaldo: Brazil 4-1

Not for the first time, the form and fighting weight of Ronaldo were a source of much debate as a FIFA World Cup got under way. With no goals and a couple of ineffective performances behind him the pressure was building going into this game.

The medics insist that their star forward is just about spot on for his height and certainly he looked a lot sharper tonight as Brazil composed some enchanting rythms to overturn Japan's surprise early goal. Ronaldo headed the equaliser to move past Pele as Brazil's leading scorer in FIFA World Cups. Then following a lovely one-two he made it 4-1 with deadly accuracy to draw level with Gerd Muller as the leading FIFA World Cup marksman of all time on 14.
