Ronaldo missed a penalty against Ireland 2-1 World Cup Qualifier

Cristiano Ronaldo   is back home in Premier League this season. Before the return, he played   Ireland  in world cup qualifier at home but missed a   first half goal   in penalty. This penalty was granted because Bruno Fernandes was brought down in penalty box.  Before Ronaldo took the penalty, Ireland's O'shea made a stupid action by kicking the ball off the penalty spot.  Ronaldo furiously lashed out at O'shea. Luckily Ronaldo did not get a red card because Ronaldo just wanted to show him a lesson by not showing respect to football. That penalty kick was then saved by  Gavin Bazunu. What a save !  Nevertheless, Ireland took a 0-1 lead before half time. In 2nd half, Portugal made a lot of attacks and eventually Ronaldo stepped up and  saved Portugal by overturning the game with 2-1 result. 2 beautiful headers had seen him to break international player record where he scored 111 goals and beat 109 goals record owned by Iran's Ali Daei. What tremendous play by Ronaldo at
