Brazil blitz

Cristiano Ronaldo became the first man to score in five World Cups as Portugal got their campaign going with a 3-2 win over Ghana while Brazil lived up to their hype, swaggering to a 2-0 triumph over Serbia, including a sizzling scissor-kick strike by Richarlison. Gareth Bale’s record 110th appearance for Wales, however, turned out to be a disaster as Iran handed them a 2-0 defeat.
