I don't agree with Ronaldo shooting fifth, either. Unless he asked to be put in that spot, that is a coaching blunder. May not have made a difference but it may have...who can say for sure?
UEFA's site had them with two shots on target.

2 or none, I'd agree with your stance if Spain were peppering the Portugal goal and dominating play. But that wasn't the case. For much of the game, Portugal were right there with Spain. The last 20 minutes or so of extra time, that's when Spain turned it on and dominated.
