Portugal v Ghana LIVE - World Cup 2022 in Qatar updates as Cristiano Ronaldo enters the fray

If they can keep doing what they were doing, they're not out of this. But as they push forward, they'll leave space for Portugal to attack.

Arsenal fans know what happens next: he thrashes over the bar for no reason.

Seidu is replaced by Lamptey.

Ally McCoist chastises Salisu for making the challenge - Ronaldo was going away from goal - and says Ronaldo got first touch on the ball. But Salisu then took it away from him without fouling him, so neither of those things are relevant, in mine.

GOAL! Portugal 1-0 Ghana (Ronaldo pen) Ronaldo rams it high and left, the keeper dives low and left, and Ronaldo is the first player to score at five World Cups!

Guerreiro lifts a decent pass over the top and Ronaldo is onto it, but Salisu comes across, nicks the ball away, Ronaldo goes down ... and the ref points to the spot! That is a nonsense!

This group could be a real slog, especially if there's a positive result in the South Korea v Ghana game on Monday.

But Bernardo's ball to Cancelo is behind him.

Seidu could easily have been booked again there. Those would've been two of the softest yellows you've ever seen, but still.

Who goes down. Seidu is booked and, enraged, he pursues Felix and they go head to head. He bows, scraping hair down face, Felix goes down, and Seidu might be in trouble here ... but the ref lets him off with a warning.

And is replaced by Carvalho, who was preparing to come on anyway. I've no much clue how he's going to help Portugal score, but I'm just a moron with a keyboard, so.

Ghana are growing into this and Kudus isn't knocking about in midfield anymore! Here he is, belting through midfield, and from 20 yards he lets rip a low shot that has Costa diving at full-length and scuds just wide of the far post!

Bu Salisu is beaten in the air by Danilo and Portugal clear.

Kudus takes the ball from Baba and crosses, winning a corner off Cancelo.

Seidu nashes down the left, feints, and diddles Guerreiro. But he thunks his cross beyond Williams and the back post, and the overload evaporates.

And Ayew's after it! But he's gone too early, so up goes the flag.

He's actually been alright here, more dynamic than most. Ayew stretches to fell him, and he's booked.

Leao on, Ronaldo off; Neves off, Otavio off, Palhinha on, Vtinha on. Or something. They could really use another winger in the squad.

Partey, though, comes back at him, knocks the ball behind, and the ref gives a goalkick to Ronaldoian incandescence.
