MOSCOW: Cristiano Ronaldo drilled in a fourth minute header to give Portugal a 1-0 lead over Morocco at halftime in their World Cup Group B match on Wednesday and take his goal tally at the tournament to four. Morocco, who will become the first team who are unable to progress to the next stage if they lose, found space to attack but had trouble getting into the Portuguese box.
