Cristiano Ronaldo made the headlines again as he scored the only goal for Portugal in their 1-0 win over Morocco in Russia 2018.


The Group B clash was highly intense and Portugal got off to a flier when a well-worked corner kick met the head of Ronaldo who made no mistake to plant the ball in the net.

That goal proved to be decisive for Portugal as Morocco poured forward in search of the equalizer.

Morocco dominated larger portions of the second half but were unable to get the much-needed goal.

They created several chances but squandered all.
