Soccer: 2018 FIFA World Cup
MOSCOW (AP) Cristiano Ronaldo made European soccer history by scoring in Portugals 1-0 win over Morocco on Wednesday, a result that makes the North African team the first to be eliminated from the World Cup.
Ronaldos header in the fourth minute was his fourth goal at this years tournament, and his 85th for his country. That moved him ahead of Hungary great Ferenc Puskas and alone in second place worldwide behind Ali Daeis 109 goals for Iran.
The Portugal forward celebrated his goal with a trademark run and soaring leap toward the corner flag at the Luzhniki Stadium.
