The Morocco vs. Portugal game has ended with a 1-0 win for Portugal.
Cristiano Ronaldo has become the highest scorer for a European international team as he scores the only goal of the game and hand Portugal a 1-0 win in their World Cup Group B game with Morocco in Moscow.
Ronaldo opened the scoring after just four minutes – just as he did against Spain in Sochi – when he met a Joao Moutinho cross and powered a header past Morocco goalkeeper Monir El Kajoui.
The landmark goal – his fourth at Russia 2018 – saw Ronaldo become Europe’s all-time leading international scorer on 85 goals, one ahead of Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskas. Ronaldo now only has Iran’s Ali Daei ahead of him in the all-time international list on 109.
With this defeat, Morocco becomes the first team to be eliminated from the World Cup.
They showed plenty of willingness but ultimately apart from the odd sprinkling of class from Ziyech they didn't have the guile to break Portugal down. An efficient, sturdy performance from the European champions.
