Portugal met Morocco in a Group B fixture at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow.

Fans turned up in huge numbers and created a buzzing pre-match atmosphere.

Ronaldo dives to meet the Bernardo Silva corner-kick at the middle of the goal and puts it past Munir.

His goal meant that now he has more number of international goals (85) than any other European in the history of football, surpassing Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskas' record.

Rui Patricio was in fine form and made an excellent save diving to his right, to keep out Manual Da Costa's header.

Mehdi Benatia had many chances to level the score, but was unable to find the net for Morocco.

The defeat means that Morocco is effectively out of the World cup and will be looking to savour some pride in its last game against Spain.
