Portugal vs Ghana: as it happened

90+10

And that's all! Breathe! 

​​​​​​​FT: Portugal 3-2 Ghana

Are you OK? Am I OK? Can someone check on Iñaki?​​​​​​


​​​​​​​I supposed we asked for goals, right? What a bonkers second half: Portugal went ahead, Ghana equalised, Portugal went ahead and ahead-er, and then Ghana made our eyes explode with the craziest of finishes!

All in all, Portugal will be happy with the attacking show they presented to us in the second half, and the array of talent on the bench means that a stagnant game like we saw in the first 45 minutes can be changed at the drop of a hat​​​​​​​

João Félix looked lively, so did Cristiano (who became the first male player to score at 5 World Cups), sometimes, and Bruno did well to knit everything together. William Carvalho gave Portugal a good base from which they could launch their attacks, and Rafa Leão is a very dribbly man. 

Ghana will be delighted with the fightback after the lacklustre first half and ultimately they will be disappointed with the result. People were low on their expectations before the tournament but today they've shown that they have a lot of heart and will fight until the end.
