#9 Cristiano Ronaldo
Had it not been for his penalty miss against Iran, he might have been higher on this list. At the end of the day, it could turn out to be a very costly miss as Portugal find themselves in the difficult of proceedings in the World Cup.
Nevertheless, one can never really count out the fact that Portugal are in the round of 16 largely because of his four goals. The hattrick against Spain was something not many players could do.
The sheer grit he showed against his Iberian rivals saved Portugal from the blushes in that match. Against Morocco, he scored another goal to give his team all the three points.
