Cristiano Ronaldo sets sights on Group B summit after Morocco win

The Real Madrid star now has four goals from two World Cup starts after he hit again to move his nation closer to a spot in the last 16

Cristiano Ronaldo believes Portugal have what it takes to secure first place in Group B after another fine World Cup performance to down Morocco.

The Real Madrid star announced himself in style in Russia with a fantastic hat-trick as Portugal kicked off the competition with a 3-3 draw against Spain.

And he needed just four minutes of Wednesday's clash to open the scoring, although the Selecao failed to add to the tally in a game that eventually finished 1-0.
