Cristiano Ronaldo became, this Thursday, November 24, 2022, the first player in history to mark in five different World Cup editions.
With its penalty against Ghana, CR7 reached its eighth goal in the World Cups, after a achievement at the 2006 German World Cup, another at the World Cup in South Africa in 2010, four at the 2018 Russian World Cup.
Note that three of these eight goals were scored on penalties.
Cristiano Ronaldo is doing better than Pelé and the Germans Uwe Seeler and Miroslav Klose.
Portugal succeeded in its first outing in this Qatar 2022 World Cup, which is difficult to win against Ghana.
The Ghanaians did not deserve against Portugal, despite the somewhat late goal of Cristiano Ronaldo (65 ‘) on penalty. André Ayew managed to equalize after 8 minutes. Except that Joao Félix was able to double the brand for the Portuguese (78 ‘), before Rafael Leao finished the job two minutes later.
The Black Stars still managed to reduce the scoring (89 ‘) through Osman Bukari.
The ten minutes of additional time did not allow Ghana to return to the scoring.
