Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo was named the man of the match after the 33-year-old striker headed home the only goal of the game to help his side beat Morocco 1-0 in Moscow on Wednesday.

Ronaldo’s 85th goal for Portugal made him Europe’s all-time leading international goalscorer as he broke Hungary legend Ferens Puskas’s 62-year-old record.

Ronaldo also scored all three goals for Portugal in their opening 3-3 draw against Spain and is the early front-runner for the Golden Boot award for most goals at the World Cup.

Reigning European champions Spain will next play Iran in Saransk on 25 June.
