- 90'+11'Portugal are next in action against Uruguay on Monday, while Ghana take on South Korea on the same day.
- 90'+11'Portugal get off the mark at the World Cup with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Ghana at the 974 Stadium. After a goalless first half, Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring with a controversial penalty to become the first man to score at five World Cups. Andre Ayew equalised for the Black Stars, but Joao Felix and Rafael Leao scored their first World Cup goals to put the Selecao in command. Osman Bukari made it a tense finish with a close-range header and Diogo Costa almost handed Inaki Williams a stoppage-time equaliser only for the forward to slip at the vital moment. Fernando Santos' men held on to secure the three points to get up and running in Group H.

- 90'+10'SCRAMBLE! Crazy from Costa as he drops the ball at his feet and allows Williams to steal possession. The forward gets to the ball, but he slips and allows Dias and Pereira to race back to clear the danger before Williams can pounce again. Drama at the death.
