Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first player in history to score at five World Cup tournaments.

The 37-year-old, who had his contract terminated by Manchester United this week, put Portugal in front from the penalty spot during their World Cup opener against Ghana.

Before the game, Ronaldo was one of five players who have found the net at in four different World Cups alongside Lionel Messi, Miroslav Klose, Uwe Seeler and Pele.

But Ronaldo’s goal against Ghana means he has now made history by being the only player score in five World Cups.
