As Portugal finally defeated Ghana to win the opening game of Group H in a thrilling five-goal contest, Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score in five World Cups.

From the minute the game began, Portugal seized control and nearly capitalised on their early possession advantage when Ronaldo was stopped by Lawrence Ati-Zigi and then missed the far post shortly after.

Just past the halfway point, Ronaldo put the ball in the Ghana goal with one of his normally composed finishes. However, the Portugal captain was found to have fouled Alexander Djiku as he twisted on the ball, and the goal was disallowed.

Ronaldo was brought down by Mohammed Salisu early in the second half, giving Portugal an unexpected chance to score their 118th international goal. Ronaldo stepped up to the spot and converted the penalty.

It was Portugal's turn to respond this time, and they duly scored twice in three minutes to secure the victory.
Both goals were masterminded by Bruno Fernandes, who threaded passes through the Ghana defence for Joao Felix and Rafael Leao, the latter scoring his first goal for his country.
