Portugal was able to earn a penalty, which Cristiano Ronaldo confidently implemented. However, the Santos team failed to play on the score, already in the 73rd minute Ghana was able to recoup. Portugal immediately added even more and scored two more goals in a couple of minutes. In the 78th minute, Joao Felish sent the second ball into the opponent's goal from the transfer of Bruno Fernandes. And in the 80th minute, Bruno Fernandes scored an assistant double, this time Rafael Leau scored his own goal. Portugal also failed to play the last minutes of the match calmly. In the 89th minute of the match, Ghana scored the second goal and eventually made their famous opponent nervous, but still Portugal did not give away three points.
UruguayBut Diego Alonso's team failed to score three points on the 24th in their opening match at the World Cup.
Uruguay played far from the worst game against South Korea, but due to weak actions at the end of the attacks, both teams were unable to hit the opponent's goal at least once during the entire meeting. As a result, Uruguay and South Korea parted with a score of 0:0.
Uruguay and Portugal last played against each other four years ago at the World Cup in Russia. Then in 1/8 Uruguay made a sensation and won with a score of 2:1 due to the double of Edinson Cavani.
