Ronaldo appears in Portugal's 1-0 defeat to Russia in the WC qualifiers Real Madrid attacker Ronaldo failed to help Portugal to pass Russia test at the start of their World Cup qualifying campaign
Alexander Kerzhakov scored early as Russia edged out Portugal 1-0 to earn their third consecutive win at the start of their World Cup qualifying campaign under Fabio Capello on Friday. Kerzhakov struck in the sixth minute after breaking clear on goal following some quick one-touch passing featuring his Zenit St Petersburg team mates Viktor Faizulin and Roman Shirokov. Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo was a constant threat at the other end, having recovered from a shoulder injury sustained on Sunday while playing for his club Real Madrid, but did not get clear chances. The Russians top Group F with nine points following comfortable wins over Northern Ireland and Israel last month while Portugal stayed in second place with six points.
