A brace from Richarlison decides, who scores a dream goal, for 2-0, with a flying scissor kick. Serbia, who lined up Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio and, in the second half, also Juventus player Dusan Vlahovic, tried to play as a throw-in, without success. Tonight’s Brazil is irrepressible: Vanja Milinkovic-Savic saves on Neymar, Vinicius and Raphinha (twice), but can do nothing on the flashes of the Tottenham striker in the second half. Also noteworthy is a post by Alex Sandro and a crossbar by Casemiro. The only discordant note for Brazil is the ankle injury for Neymar, who leaves the field in the 79th minute.

🏆👉 Portugal with a thriller game win the FIFA World Cup Group H defeating Ghana on Thursday 24 November 2022 at the Ras Abu Aboud Stadium (Stadium 974) in Doha, Qatar. The first half ended without goals, the whole action happened in the second half. Forward Cristiano Ronaldo broke the deadlock in the 65th minute with a penalty kick becoming the first player to score in five different World Cups. Andre Ayew in the 73rd minute equalized with a close touch from an assist from Kudus. Five minutes later, however, Joao Felix signed the new advantage with assist by Bruno Fernandes. In the 80th minute, Milan player Rafael Leao, as soon as he entered, dropped the trio before the definitive 3-2 in the 88th minute with a header from Bukari.
Ghana also came close to the sensational 3-3 on a mistake by the Lusitanian goalkeeper Diogo Costa but it ended like this: 3-2 for Portugal who won 3 very difficult points on their debut. The previous match between Portugal and Ghana was in the group stage of the World Cup 2014. Portugal won 2-1, with the winning goal from Cristiano Ronaldo.
Portugal have won just three of their last 14 World Cup matches (D6 L5), each of them in the competition’s group stage – their last knockout success came in June 2006, when they clinched a place in the quarter-finals final thanks to a 1-0 success against the Netherlands.
Portugal have not won any of their last three World Cup opening matches (D2 L1). Despite this, after making it through the group stage in 2018, they can reach the knockout stage in two successive editions of the tournament for the second time, having succeeded in 2006 and 2010.
This is Ghana’s fourth participation in the World Cup, with all previous three coming in the 21st century; they have only failed to get past the group stage once, although that happened in their last outing, in 2014.
