VIDEO: Portugal to Present Evidence to FIFA Claiming Ronaldo Scored First Goal Against Uruguay

The Portuguese Football Federation intends to present evidence to FIFA that the first goal against Uruguay in the second round of the group stage of the 2022 World Cup was scored by Cristiano Ronaldo. This was reported by journalist Edu Aguirre during an episode of El Chiringuito, as conveyed by Armsport.am.

It is worth noting that Ronaldo attempted to finish a pass from Bruno Fernandes and likely made contact with the ball with the tip of his hair; however, FIFA credited the goal to Fernandes. He effectively registered a double in this match by also converting a penalty confidently at the end.

The Portuguese national team has earned 6 points and has secured its place in the playoffs of the 2022 World Cup ahead of time. For his part, Portugal’s forward Cristiano Ronaldo believes that the first goal against Uruguay in the 2022 World Cup should be credited to him. After the match, the Portuguese emotionally expressed, “There was a touch. The ball touched me.” His words were captured on camera, reports O Jogo.

Once again, Ronaldo attempted to finish a pass from Bruno Fernandes and likely made contact with the ball; nonetheless, FIFA credited the goal to Fernandes, who indeed scored a double in that match. The Portuguese national team has now accrued 6 points and ensures its participation in the World Cup playoffs in advance.
