Portugal vs Morocco player ratings: Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Moutinho lead the way for Fernando Santos' side

Portugal are poised to qualify for the knock-out stages of the World Cup after beating Morocco 1-0 in Moscow.

Cristiano Ronaldo's bullet header, coming after just four minutes, was enough to see Portugal pick up all three points and cement their place at the top of Group B, ahead of Spain and Iran who face one another later today.

Morocco showed their spirit in taking the game to Portugal, and enjoyed a number of close chances throughout the match, but were ultimately unable to break down their opponents. They're now the first side to be eliminated from the World Cup.

So how did the two teams fare? See the gallery above for our player ratings.
