Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a natural hat trick on Sunday with his successfully-converted penalty kick in the 60th minute (shown here with Kashima goalkeeper Hitoshi Sogahata looking on) and a pair of overtime tallies (98', 104') as Real Madrid battled back and defeated Japan's Kashima Antlers 4-2 in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup.
The title was the second for the Spanish titans who won Europe's club title this past May.

Earlier on Sunday, also at Yokohama, after a 2-2 draw through 120 minutes, Jhon Mosquera, Daniel Bocanegra, Macnelly Torres, and Miguel Borja all converted their spot kicks as Atletico Nacional defeated Club America 4-3 in the penalty-kick shootout and won the third-place match.
