Defender Baba Rahman made history in Ghana's 3-2 defeat to Portugal, becoming the first Reading player to pick up a goal contribution in a World Cup.
The left-back, in his second season on loan in Berkshire from Chelsea, made his World Cup debut against Cristiano Ronaldo & Co, giving the 2016 European champions a run for their money.
With all five goals in the last half hour, Ronaldo opened the scoring from the penalty spot before former West Ham and Swansea City forward Andre Ayew levelled up less than 10 minutes later.
Youngster Joao Felix regained the lead for the Portugese, and Rafael Leao added a third two minutes later.

In the final minute of the game, the Black Stars made things interesting as Rahman's cross was headed in by Osman Bukhari.
So far, Junior Hoilett's Canada are yet to score, and Mamadou Loum yet to set foot on the pitch, for the three Royals in Qatar.
Neither Jon-Dadi Bodvarsson or Bobby Convey, the last two Reading representatives at a World Cup, contributed toward goals.
Next up for Rahman is South Korea on Monday.
