Gravity-defying Cristiano Ronaldo gave Portugal the lead with towering header

For a bloke that's so desperate to prove his height, Cristiano Ronaldo has no problem winning headers, does he?

With 50 minutes played in Lyon, Wales learned this the hard way when the Real Madrid star powered the Portuguese into the lead. Just look at the height he gets as he out-jumps the Welsh defenders - he's not even landed by the time the ball crosses the goal line. https://twitter.com/itvfootball/status/750783590678405120 Viewers were in awe... https://twitter.com/ChuBoi/status/750783685704577024 https://twitter.com/DareToGigio/status/750783583359467520 https://twitter.com/karlhandforth/status/750783421383925761 https://twitter.com/KevBeirne/status/750783250516279296 The first half had lacked quality, but there was a sense that Wales had been the better side up until this point. If Chris Coleman's side were unfortunate to fall behind to Ronaldo's header, what followed three minutes later was cruel. Again Ronaldo was involved, but when he mis-hit a shot from outside the box, some might have thought the danger had passed. Unfortunately for the Welsh, his dragged shot fell into the path of Nani, who steered the ball into the net to give Portugal a 2-0 lead. https://twitter.com/itvfootball/status/750784366595350528
