Cristiano Ronaldo suffers more woe as he loses record in tearful Portugal World Cup exit

Youssef En-Nesyri’s headed goal not only secured Morocco’s place in the World Cup final four - but also set a personal record.

The Sevilla striker leapt high to take advantage of a misjudgement from goalkeeper Diogo Costa and score the only goal of the game as Portugal crashed out of the World Cup on Saturday. It was a goal that will go down in history as sending an African team to the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time.

The headed winner in the 42nd minute also set a record. En-Nesyri has been recorded as heading home from a whopping height of 2.78 metres - higher than Cristiano Ronaldo's header for Juventus against Sampdoria in December 2019.
