Meme fest after Cristiano Ronaldo denied a second FIFA World Cup 2022 goal


In the final matchup for the day, Portugal sealed a 2-0 win against Uruguay to join Brazil and France in the knockout stage. Meanwhile, five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo again became a favorite for meme pages on social media. He claimed a goal that was later given to his teammate Bruno Fernandes.

While the 37-year-old thought he had scored the match’s opening goal, it was eventually credited to Fernandes, who had curled in a cross from the left. The ball barely went over Ronaldo’s head, before bouncing into the far corner of the goal. Ronaldo believed he had scored his ninth overall World Cup goal and second of the current edition, but repeated close-up replays cleared all doubts.

Fernandes went on to score another goal, this time through a penalty three minutes into the additional time and handed Portugal a 2-0 win. They will now face South Korea in their next group H match on December 2. South Korea suffered a 2-3 loss at the hands of Ghana on Day 9 and Son Heung-min was seen shedding tears after the defeat.
