Adidas Confirm It Wasn’t Cristiano Ronaldo’s Goal During Portugal vs Uruguay FIFA World Cup 2022 Match
The former Manchester United forward celebrated after he thought he had scored the opening goal. But it was later awarded to Bruno Fernandes, who had come up with the excellent cross. Fernandes eventually added one more to help Portugal beat Uruguay.
Not Cristiano Ronaldo but Bruno Fernandes was awarded Portugal's opening goal during his side's 2-0 win over Uruguay in their FIFA World Cup 2022 match. This seemed to spark a lot of questions as it seemed that Ronaldo headed Fernandes' cross into the net. Now, Adidas, the official match ball makers of FIFA World Cup 2022 have explained why Ronaldo was not awarded the goal. They have said that there was no contact made between the Ah-Rihla (the match ball) and a leaping Ronaldo and it was confirmed with the help of a 500hz MHU sensor inside the ball. "Technology inside the ball definitively shows there was no touch," they said.
