Cristiano Ronaldo said Portugal have room to improve at the World Cup after his early goal secured a 1-0 win over Morocco as the European champions edged closer to the last 16.

"Our expectation is to continue our work and try to improve in the group phase," Ronaldo said after his fourth-minute strike decided a hard-fought encounter in Moscow.

"We're almost there (knockout stages) and then we'll see. We'll take things match after match. We will try to come first in the group."
"I managed to score a goal, it was great for me."
"He won't be doing the same thing in two or three years and he's not doing what he did four or five years ago. He knows himself well and what he needs to do."

"We did well defensively, but we need more than that. We have to continue pushing forward and have to change certain things and get more of the ball."
"I'm very happy with the performance. I'm very proud of my players, very proud of this country, very proud of everybody."
"We took a lot but we weren't rewarded."
