Portugal happier than the "black stars", another record for CR7

Turbulent on the field, even more fierce in the stands was the match between Portugal and Ghana at the start of Group H, which went to "selesau" - 3:2.

Portugal dominated in the first half but with only one real chance when Cristiano Ronaldo avoided offside but was bad in reception and the "black stars" goalkeeper Lawrence Atti-Zigi managed to block his shot.

CR7 had one more chance, but he failed to repeat the jump and goal from the Real Madrid jersey into the Manchester United net, whose photo adorns the expensive watch he ordered to be made for him in preparation for the World Cup and break with his now former club - Manchester United.

In the continuation, Ghana managed to establish balance and Ajax's talented striker Mohamed Kudus threatened, but his shot from the top of the penalty area was imprecise. And Cristiano Ronaldo came for his own - another record! In the 65th minute, he became the first player to score in five World Cups!

From the penalty, which he won himself, he managed to reach the ball before Salisu, who closed the space with his body and the duel was more like a "remple". However, the referee had no dilemma and Ati-Zigi had a chance to defend.

The "Black Stars" did not give up, they started more offensively, and as a reward came a mistake by Pereira after a cross from Kudus, and captain Andre Aju scored it in the right place to make it 1:1 in the 73rd minute.

But Ghana's wings were broken by the inexperience of coach Ota Ada, who at the same time replaces Kudus - Zvezda striker Bukari enters, and the captain is replaced by his brother Jordan in the 77th.

Andre didn't even manage to make an effort, and his team was losing on the scoreboard, because Joao Felix got in front of the goalkeeper after a pass from Bruno Fernades and made no mistake in the 78th minute. Milan player Rafa Leao made no mistake two minutes later and again Bruno Fernanes was the assistant. Leao entered the game just as Bucari and Jordan Ayu.

Cristiano Ronaldo also had a chance for a field goal, but the lob attempt was felt by Ati-Zigi.

Ghana was in shock, but still found the strength to start and make the finish uncertain, as the quick-footed striker of Crebna Zvezda, Osman Bukari, scored in the 89th minute. A minute earlier, CR7 left the game, but he became the first European with five consecutive participations in the European and World Championships.

However, Bukari managed to anger him, as he imitated his goal celebration.

In the last moments, Ghana could have scored a point, but Bukhari and Inaki Williams lacked a bit of luck...
