Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of the Portuguese national team, saw FIFA take away the opening goal against Uruguay.
Bruno Fernandes delivered the cross, and Cristiano Ronaldo leaped for the ball, which ended up in the bottom of Uruguay’s goal.
FIFA first credited the goal to the national team captain, but then changed its mind and credited Bruno Fernandes as the scorer.
After the final whistle of the match, Cristiano Ronaldo claimed the authorship of the goal, when leaving the field: “It touched me. The ball touched me,” he said smiling.
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernades scored Portugal’s second goal from the penalty spot in added time.
