WHAT HAPPENED? He’s back with a bang. Ronaldo returned to the starting line up to captain Portugal against Ghana, before putting his side ahead from the spot in the second half with a record-breaking strike. He became the first player to score in five World Cups in what was his eighth goal across those tournaments, as Portugal defeated Ghana 3-2.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ghana’s rapid response through Andre Ayew was soon cancelled out by quick-fire strikes from Joao Felix and Rafael Leao, before Osman Bukari pulled one back for the Black Stars. Ronaldo’s record-breaking goal comes in a turbulent week for the Portugal captain, which saw him first dumped by Manchester United before being slapped with a fine and ban by the FA for an altercation with a fan back in April.

WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO? Ronaldo and Portugal will first hope to see out their opening day win, before they take on Uruguay in their next Group H fixture on Monday.
