Cristiano Ronaldo got all excited, fists clenched and all as he celebrated what he thought was his opening goal for Portugal against Uruguay in the 54th minute at the Lusail Stadium on Monday night.
Instead, the goal was rightly awarded to his teammate Bruno Fernandes, whose aerial delivery failed to touch Ronaldo’s head on its way into the Uruguayan goal.
