Portugal 3-2 Ghana LIVE! World Cup 2022 result, match stream and latest updates today
The third game of today’s World Cup action gets underway this afternoon as former European champions Portugal take on Ghana in Doha. Tipped as a comfortable win for the Selecao, anyone who was watched the early group-stage action in Qatar will know that such walkovers have been very hard to come by.
Portugal will be led by Cristiano Ronaldo once again as the 37-year-old targets a World Cup in what could be his last trip to the tournament. In fact, the nation has never lifted the prestigious trophy as they start their Group H campaign perhaps a step behind the favourites in 2022.
Ghana overcame Nigeria in qualification for the World Cup and will rely on the experienced Ayew brothers plus newer faces such as Tariq Lamptey. The Black Stars have reached the knockouts twice on their three attempts. ITV will broadcast this game on TV and you can follow all the action LIVE via Standard Sport’s match blog!

Surely the match of the tournament so far…

90+5 mins: Rafael Leao fails to make the most of a good opening, passing rather than shooting.
