Ronaldo Earns Portugal 2-1 Win Vs Ghana, Both Out by wochit


Cristiano Ronaldo’s late winner wasn’t enough to send Portugal through to the World Cup last-16 as they crashed out alongside Ghana in Brasilia.

The Real Madrid star was thwarted three times by Fatau Dauda – saves that effectively knocked Paulo Bento’s side out. Had those flown in, they may have joined Germany in extending their tournament beyond the group stage.

Asamoah Gyan had earlier equalised for the Black Stars after John Boye’s comical own goal.

The United States soccer team were just 30 seconds away from a historic win against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal in Brazil on Sunday night that would have booked their place in the last 16 of the World Cup.

The Americans were about to walk off with their first come-from-behind win at soccer’s showcase. About to advance with a game to spare. About to win consecutive World Cup games for the first time since 1930. But they wilted in the Amazon heat and humidity.

Varela’s goal on a diving header off Cristiano Ronaldo’s cross on the game’s last play gave Portugal a 2-2 tie Sunday on an exhausting night in the rainforest capital.
