Cristiano Ronaldo announced himself on the World Cup stage once again as he scored the opener in Portugal's 3-2 win over Ghana in the group stages. The 37-year-old won and subsequently scored a penalty that got the game underway for his side, though it was far from a comfortable ride.
The Black Stars struck back through Andre Ayew before Joao Felix and Rafael Leao appeared to put the game to bed with a quickfire double. Osman Bukari scored a late goal to keep them in it until Portuguese hearts were in mouths as Inaki Williams took the ball from goalkeeper Diogo Costa, but slipped at the crucial moment.
It prompted a huge reaction from the Portugal bench as their shot-stopper almost gave away the three points in failing to check if there were players behind him as he played out from the back. It didn't prove to be costly in the end, but it was an unforced error that could have been.
