teams at the world cup. just the one match to go, but let's take you through the results so far today. we'll start at stadium 974, where cristiano ronaldo was always going to steal the headlines. he went into the game against cameroon without a club after severing ties with manchester united a couple ——ghana of days ago but the portugal captain speaks when he wants and he scores when he wants, his goal in their 3—2 win saw him make world cup history lydia campbell reports. there are few players who can completely dominate pre—match build—up like cristiano ronaldo. on tuesday he had his contract terminated by manchester united. on thursday he was leading his country in his fifth world cup. but it took until the second half for ronaldo to make his mark, winning a penalty and giving himself the chance to make history as the only man to score in

both sides squandered good openings. south korea's hwang ui—jo should have given his sde the lead, but leaned back on his shot, and his efort sailed vert the bar. uruguay�*s had luis suarez and darwin nunez in theirfront line but their veteran skipper diego godin, who is now 36, came closest to scoring in the first half. he hit the bottom of a post with a header. urugauy dominated possession after the break, real madrid's federico valverde also hit the woodwork with a long range effort. south korea's captain, son heung—min, playing in a protective mask after fracturing his eye socket last month, had a quietish game, and saw a late effort go wide, south korea didn't have a single shot on target. switzerland are looking to reach the last 16 for the third world cup in a row and have started their campaign with a win. they beat cameroon i—nil in group g, breel embolo scored the winner early in the second half. he was born in cameroon so that

top to play, but clearly wales were missing something, could that missing something, could that missing link bejoe allen. he has not played for swansea city for a couple of months. he has been with the wells cut up all the time everyone asked by his fitness today, confirming for us today that he is 100% fit. although he is on ioo% fit. although he is on contention to play. it could impact the blood tomorrow that is music to the blood tomorrow that is music to the years of welsh fans this is what rod paige had to say. the the years of welsh fans this is what rod paige had to say.— rod paige had to say. the medical team have been _ rod paige had to say. the medical team have been exceptional - rod paige had to say. the medical team have been exceptional with i rod paige had to say. the medical. team have been exceptional with him and have _ team have been exceptional with him and have reasoned that he is in a position— and have reasoned that he is in a position where he is fit and ready to go _ position where he is fit and ready to go. we were all concerned about him because over the extent of the injury. _ him because over the extent of the injury. he _ him because over the extent of the injury, he kept breaking down so they have — injury, he kept breaking down so they have had targets along the way and have met every target. and last week— and have met every target. and last week they— and have met every target. and last week they pushed him to 100%. and it was a _ week they pushed him to 100%. and it was a gamble and if he had worked on it would have been completely opposite of the target. we could then not— opposite of the target. we could then not have question for the us again— then not have question for the us again ttut— then not have question for the us again but i— then not have question for the us again but i decided against that because — again but i decided against that because when we look at the group and the _
