A YouTube personality took on the "Cristiano Ronaldo in the Dark" challenge, set by Hisense, the official TV of the World Cup. The challenge involves scoring a goal in complete darkness, using only the sound of the ball and a thermal imaging camera to guide the shot. The personality completed the challenge in three phases, with increasing difficulty. Phase one involved scoring with the lights shut off just after the ball was kicked. Phase two involved shutting off the lights as soon as the ball was kicked, giving no time to see the ball's trajectory. Phase three involved scoring with the lights off and a target in the top corner of the goal. The personality successfully completed all three phases, scoring a goal in each one. After the challenge, the personality surprised two football fans, Jack and Nico, by upgrading their living room with a new 65-inch Hisense ULED 7 Sports model TV and other World Cup goodies.
