Cristiano Ronaldo scored the goal of the game, as Portugal beat Morocco 1-0 in their second Group B game at the 2018 World Cup.

Ronaldo headed in within the first five minutes of the game, to ensure that a second African country was sent packing from the tournament within two days, after Egypt were eliminated by hosts Russia on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old’s goal against the North Africans, means he has now scored 85 international goals, more than any other European player in the history of football.

It is also his fourth of the tournament, after he smashed in a hat-trick against Spain in their 3-3 draw.

Portugal will face Iran in their last group fixture, while Morocco will play Spain.
