Bruno Fernandes played a starring role in Portugal’s world cup opener against Ghana.
The midfielder provides 2 assists in a frantic second half, with 5 goals in total. Portugal won 3-2. However, Ghanaian team would feel robbed.
After a goalless first half, Portugal finally made a breakthrough thorough Cristiano Ronaldo penalty. But was it a penalty in the first place?
Initially it looked like a penalty but replay showed the contact was very minimal. Strangely, VAR did not challenge on field referee decision.
The previous day, Canada were denied a clear penalty and was wrongly called offside although the backpass in question came from a Belgian player.
Cristiano became the first male player to score in 5 world cups. Well deserved, unlike the penalty that enables him to hit the special landmark.
Stay tuned!
