Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score in five World Cups as Portugal squeaked out a 3-2 victory over a feisty Ghana squad on Thursday.
Ronaldo’s goal occurred on a penalty in the 65th minute to open the scoring – his eighth goal in 18 career World Cup matches.
The historic moment comes the same week the 37-year-old and Manchester United agreed to part ways following an explosive interview in which Ronaldo roundly criticized the legendary club.
Ghana would later equalize on a goal by Andre Ayew, only for Portugal to score twice in seven minutes to jump out to a 3-1 lead.
