Cristiano Ronaldo has set a new record by scoring in his sixth World Cup, while England faced a disappointing goalless draw.
One swallow does not a summer make, and two goals don’t change Cristiano Ronaldo’s place in the hierarchy of football greatness, still, he has one record Lionel Messi can never beat.
Ronaldo became the first player to score in six World Cups as Portugal beat Uzbekistan 5-0 early on Wednesday. He also overtook the great Eusebio as his country’s leading scorer at the tournament.
England, meanwhile, laboured to a goalless draw with Ghana in an attacking performance that had about as much cutting edge as a butter knife.
Their Group L opponents Panama and Croatia have just kicked off in Toronto, while Group K rivals Colombia and the Democratic Republic of Congo are scheduled to get under way at 10am.
But for now, here’s what happened overnight.
