Cristiano Ronaldo puts Man Utd exit behind him as Portugal beat Ghana - 5 talking points

Cristiano Ronaldo made history as Portugal burst into life in the second half to overcome Ghana and get their World Cup campaign off to a winning start.

The superstar striker became the first player in history to score in five different editions of the tournament by converting a penalty he won in the 65th minute. Andre Ayew hit back for the Black Stars eight minutes later but Joao Felix and Rafael Leao scored fine goals for Portugal to ensure they seized the initiative in Group H, though Osman Bukari scored a late goal to keep Fernando Santos' side on their toes until the very last second.

Leao's strike was the pick of the evening's goals as he swept into the far corner from a Bruno Fernandes pass to show just why he is linked with a big-money move from AC Milan to the Premier League.
