Doha, November 24 (QNA) - Cristiano Ronaldo got on the scoresheet as Portugal edged out Ghana 3-2 in a Group H match at the Stadium 974 on Thursday.
After a goalless first half, Ronaldo opened the scoring with a penalty to become the first man to score at five World Cups.
Andre Ayew equalized for the Black Stars, but Joao Felix and Rafael Leao scored their first World Cup goals to put the Portugal 3-1 up.
Osman Bukari made it a tense finish with a close-range header and Diogo Costa almost handed Inaki Williams a stoppage-time equalizer only for the forward to slip at the vital moment.
Portugal are next in action on Monday, against Uruguay. Ghana play South Korea on the same day. (QNA)
