Every time Ronaldo caught the ball, cheers erupted, and fans shouted for Ronaldo at the top of their voices.
[Cristiano Ronaldo!
Cristiano Ronaldo!]
Ronaldo scored the opening goal in the 20th minute of the second half as if in response to the support of the fans.
He dug into the back space at high speed, led the penalty kick with an opponent foul, and shook the net as a direct kicker.
Ronaldo, who scored his 118th goal in his A-match career and 8th in his World Cup career, performed a unique ceremony and shared the joy with his teammates as if dispelling rumors of discord.
When Ghana turned the game around with captain Andre Ayew's equalizer in the 28th minute of the second half, Portugal's youthful blood rallied.
In the 33rd minute of the second half, 23-year-old Joao Felix shook the net, and two minutes later, 23-year-old Leão scored the winning goal to put a wedge in the game.
Portugal won 3-2 despite conceding a goal at the end of the second half, leading Group H over South Korea and Uruguay.
[Ronaldo/Portugal national team striker: My colleagues sacrificed and helped each other to win the game.
Ghana was a very strong team, and it was a close match.]
Ghana showed off its goal-making ability by scoring two goals with three shots on target, but swallowed the bitter cup of defeat with an unstable appearance of defensive organization collapsing one after another.
As the power of Ghana and Portugal has been confirmed to some extent through this match, it is expected that whether or not Bento will advance to the round of 16 depends on how to attack them.
