Portugal manages to knock out Ghana (3-2) with a crazy finish

After the tie between Uruguay and Korea (0-0), Portugal and Ghana have confronted knowingly that, if they won, could do with the leadership in solitary of his group and like this 'direct', from prompt, the classification to the eighth of final of the Glass of the World. It was Christian, with a referee's help 'escándalosa', the one who desastacó the party from the eleven metres in the second half. Ghana equalised and afterwards Joao and Leao also marked, in front of the goals of André Ayew and Osman Bukari.

The reality is that Portugal dominated the party almost in his whole, in front of a Ghana that knew to plant to defensive level and that cost of his contragolpes and swift transitions for incomodar to the defenders lusos that, although had the balloon largely of the meeting, the goal was them resisting more than the account. Cristiano Ronaldo, with win of 'reinvindicarse', went one of the most active players but without goal in the first minutes.

'CR7' was exasperated by the goal and achieved it to the half hour of party, but was cancelled by a fault of the own footballer when it recovered the balloon in the rival area. There was it enchufado of way sensacional so that colara in the goal, but did not go up to the marker in front of the frustación of the ex of the Manchester United.

The ones of Fernando Santos had all the opportunities and were costing of Bernardo Silva that directed the game to his antojo, being the big protagonist of the meeting. In the 36' was Joãor Félix the one who tested with a shot from the frontal, but was easy to detain for the guardameta.

And the VAR, where is?

The two teams went down the pulsaciones to the party in the resumption, without occasions very clear until Ghana had his option with a far shot of Kudus that happened relamiendo the stick and that warned to Portugal that, if they did not react definitively, could finish happening it very bad. They benefited of a 'help' of the referee to start with to sentence the meeting.

And it is that, happened the half hour of party, lived a new referee's scandal in Qatar: Salisu and Cristiano bumped in the area and the referee, without warning neither correction of the VAR, pitó the maximum penalty in favour of the lusos. 'CR7' did not fail from the eleven metres and turned into the first player in the history that marks in five World-wide consecutive.

Ghana did not surrender

The goal caused that Ghana woke up, little by little, until it tested in two occasions. In the second, 'killed': First with a shot of Kudus that trapped in two times Diogo Jota in an occasion in which the defence of Portugal left a lot that wish and that supposed the tie in the electronic.

Kudus Went in by the left and put a pass of the dead person that him escurrió to Danilo between the legs so that it appeared Ayew to push the balloon. The joy did not last them a lot, however: A leak -sensacional- of Bruno Fernandes collected it Joao Félix to hammer it in front of the exit of the guardameta so that colara, cruzadita.

Like this it began the way to the end, because few minutes afterwards Rafael Leao sentenced the victory. Bruno Fernandes drove to yield to the player of the AC Milan, that defined with a good shot adjusted to the long stick to sentence the victory of the new leaders of the group H, although Osman Bukari reduced distances in the 89'.
