Cristiano Ronaldo was denied what would’ve been a remarkable header to give Portugal the lead over Uruguay in Group H of the World Cup on Tuesday.
Ronaldo thought he’d scored vs UruguayClaimed a touch on crossGoal awarded to Fernandes
WHAT HAPPENED? With the game locked at 0-0, Bruno Fernandes floated in an in-swinging cross from the left-hand side for Portugal, which Ronaldo did his utmost to guide beyond Sergio Rochet in the Uruguay goal. And while he was initially credited with getting the slightest touch on the ball, it was later awarded to Fernandes by FIFA.
?? Could that be the goal to see them through to the knockouts?

THE BIGGER PICTURE: With the goal being credited to Fernandes, it means Ronaldo is still two goals away from 120 for Portugal. At his final World Cup, the goal could be key in confirming their place in the knockout stages, regardless of who scored it.
WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO? Most probably a light-hearted debate with Fernandes in the dressing room at full-time, over who actually scored the winning goal…
