Cristiano Ronaldo creates history becoming the first male player to score in five World Cups

By Shirvan Williams

International football star Cristiano Ronaldo has marked his name in the history books.

The Portuguese captain scored in his fifth FIFA World Cup, earlier today, November 24 to become the first male player to pull off the feat. His most historic goal to date came with a penalty kick against Ghana.

Ronaldo has been having a somewhat turbulent time following his decision to leave Manchester United.

Portugal’s 1-0 lead over Ghana was short-lived, as André Ayew scored an equalizer in the 73rd minute. Portugal then retook the lead in the 78th minute off the foot of João Félix, and Rafael Leão made it 3-1 with a goal in the 80th minute. The game ended 3-2.
