Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo netted a second-half hat-trick in a 3-0 pre-season friendly victory over American side Chivas Guadalajara.
The Portuguese star was the man to watch in a energetic game that saw both sides playing some brilliant football.
However, Ronaldo found Chivas keeper Luis Michel to be unbeatable in the first-half as it ended goalless at the break.
Michel stopped one of his trademark free-kicks in the sixth minute before denying an headed attempt from him off a corner.
But there was no denying Ronaldo in the second-half as the former Manchester United forward finally broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute.
He ran through two Chivas defenders as he raced towards a cross by Karim Benzema before firing the ball past Michel.
Ronaldo doubled his side's lead three minutes later from the spot after team-mate and Portuguese team-mate Pepe was brought down in the box by Chivas' Omar Arellano.
He completed his hat-trick with a fantastic drive to the lower right corner of the net in the 82nd minute to hand Madrid a 3-0 win.
