Portugal defeated Ghana 3-2 in the first-round match of the 2022 World Cup group stage.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who opened the scoring in this match, was recognized as the best player of the match.
Ronaldo became the first footballer in history to score in five World Cups, with Brazilian Pelé, Germans Uwe Seeler, Miroslav Klose, and Argentinean Lionel Messi scoring in four world championships.
Ronaldo also became the second player in history to play at the World Cups (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022) and Europe (2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2021) in three different decades.
A day earlier, this achievement was submitted to the midfielder of the Croatian national team Luka Modric. At the same time, Ronaldo set a record among European football players by playing in the 10th major international tournament among teams.
