Cristiano Ronaldo struck again, his fourth goal in two matches, to send Morocco out of the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup Monday at the Luzhniki stadium on Wednesday.

The North Africans, coming into the game after losing their first group game to 1950 champions, Uruguay last week, were expected to win to keep their hopes of continuing in the competition alive, but coming up against a Ronaldo- inspired Portugal was always going to be a tasty proposition.

The Moroccans who incidentally are the only African team to have beaten the current European champions in a World Cup match when they met at Mexico’86, would however prove to be no match for the Portuguese who made sure they extracted the vital three points necessary to progress after their sensational 3–3 draw with Spain in their opening game.

Interestingly, the Moroccans previous two wins in the tournament were against European opposition, but they would come up dismally short this time, despite dominating the game, especially in the second period for long spells.

The Africans, therefore, became the first African team, despite Egypt’s precarious placing, after also losing two games, to be eliminated, having not scored any goal, and amassed no points to stay on in the competition.

Their third and final game comes up against former champions, Spain on Monday.
Ronaldo has now scored a total of seven goals in four World Cup appearances, having scored against Iran, at Germany 2006, North Korea, at South Africa 2010 and Ghana at Brazil 2014.
