World Cup 2022: Ronaldo scripts history as Portugal register 3-2 win over Ghana in ill-tempered match match

India Today  

Cristiano Ronaldo scripted World Cup history as Portugal kicked off its Qatar 2022 campaign with a nervy 3-2 win over Ghana in a thrilling Group H match at Stadium 974 on November 24. With his 65th-minute penalty in Thursday's 3-2 win over Ghana, Ronaldo became the first male player to score in five World Cups and gave Portugal a 1-0 lead over Ghana. Osman Bukari pulled another one back for Ghana late on but Portugal survived nine minutes of stoppage time to win their opening game of a World Cup for the first time in their last four appearances, thanks to Osman Bukari's 89th-minute headed response. Ronaldo scored one goal at the South Africa 2010 World Cup, another at the Brazil 2014 World Cup, and four goals at the Russia 2018 World Cup.
