Qatar 2022: Ronaldo sets new World Cup record as Portugal beats Ghana 3 goals to 2

Cristiano Ronaldo has again set another world record as he becomes the first player to score in five World Cups tournament on Thursday as Portugal opened their campaign in Qatar with a 3-2 defeat of Ghana in Group H.

Ronaldo parted ways with English side, Manchester United earlier this week in a very unusual manner to bury a second-half penalty to set Portugal on their way to victory.

Ghanaian Andre Ayew equalised for Ghana shortly afterwards but Portugal took a 3-1 lead with goals from Joao Felix and Rafael Leao. Osman Bukari scored a late consolation for Ghana.

After Ronaldo was substituted, the Ghanaian side scored their second goal to bring them back into the game.
