Sports: BRAZIL 3 GHANA 0
Brazil ended Ghana’s scrappy World Cup debut yesterday with three streaking goals, the first an early flash by Ronaldo that made him the most prolific scorer in tournament history.
Ronaldo netted his 15th World Cup goal in the fifth minute — putting him past German Gerd Mueller as the tournament’s all-time leading scorer — and Adriano and Ze Roberto added one each to give Brazil the 3-0 win.
“I want to continue to increase the record,” Ronaldo said, “but without forgetting that the main goal in the World Cup is winning the title. We know that we are going to face more difficult rivals every time, and we have to be prepared for that.”
Ghana made Brazil work for its 11th straight World Cup win, challenging the five-time champions and outplaying them at times, but their shots were either off the mark or well within reach of goalkeeper Dida.
The result secured Brazil in the quarter-finals for the fourth straight time — the last time it was eliminated in the second round was in 1990, when it lost to Argentina.
