The game sprang to live with Joan Felix and Seidu went head-to-head in the middle of the park after Seidu's challenge on the forward, with both players maybe lucky not to be given further punishment.

Ronaldo's controversial penalty put Portugal ahead, but 10 minutes later, Ghana was level, with Kudos again showing his ability near the goal-line to set up Andrew Ayew's goal from close range.

Ghana's joy didn't last long as a bad error from left back Baba Rahman saw him fail to cut out a through ball and Joao Tomas had an easy finish one-on-one with Ati-Zigi.

A quick break two minutes later saw Leao, who had just come on, receive a pass from Bruno Fernandes to slide the ball across Ati-Zigi into the far corner of the net.

Williams then crossed for Bukari to give Ghana hope in the 89th minute and Williams almost poached an equalizer when he robbed Portugal keeper Diogo Costa in the closing seconds, only to slip when he looked certain to level the score.
