In FIFA World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo got on the scoresheet as Portugal edged out Ghana 3-2 in a Group H match at the Stadium 974 on Thursday. After a goalless first half, Ronaldo opened the scoring with a penalty to become the first man to score at five World Cups. Andre Ayew equalised for the Black Stars, but Joao Felix and Rafael Leao scored their first World Cup goals to put the Portugal 3-1 up. Osman Bukari made it a tense finish with a close-range header and Diogo Costa almost handed Inaki Williams a stoppage-time equaliser only for the forward to slip at the vital.

Earlier, Portugal dominated Ghana but were unable to break through the first half despite Cristiano Ronaldo having the ball in the net and missing two early chances. Ronaldo might have had two goals inside the first 15 minutes, but he squandered both chances. In the 31st minute, after the referee had blown his whistle for an infringement against him, he scored from close range.
