CRISTIANO Ronaldo will tonight be out to follow up his World Cup opening game heroics for Portugal against a Moroccan team still smarting from a last-gasp defeat.

A hat-trick from the fivetime world player of the year snatched a thrilling 3-3 draw for the European champions against Spain in a heavyweigh­t Group B showdown in Sochi.

Despite winning Euro 2016, Portugal are not seen among the favourites in Russia but they can take a big step towards the last 16 with victory in Moscow tonight.
