Portugal entered the game with confidence and completely dominated the game. The strikers of the Euro 2016 champions continuously surrounded Ghana's goal.

In the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo continued to prove his worth as the leader of Portugal's attacks. In the 65th minute, the 37-year-old striker put pressure in the penalty area, forcing a Ghanaian defender to commit a foul.
