Bernardo Silva spotted not celebrating Portugal's World Cup goal for clever reason

While the rest of his Portugal team-mates were celebrating Goncalo Ramos' opening goal against Switzerland, Bernardo Silva notably did not join in.

It appears that may have been a clever ploy from the Manchester City star to prevent his side immediately conceding an equaliser. Silva started in midfield for the Selecao for Tuesday's last-16 clash against the Swiss, which Portugal would go on to easily win.

The scoring was opened by Ramos, who had replaced the dropped Cristiano Ronaldo up front. The Benfica star fired in a stunning strike high into the near post after picking up the ball inside the box from Joao Felix's pass.
