Ghana star Osman Bukari has claimed he did not mean to disrespect Cristiano Ronaldo when he copied his celebration after scoring against Portugal on Thursday, adding that he was overcome with emotion after notching his side's second goal of the game.
Former Manchester United forward Ronaldo performed his iconic celebration as he gave Portugal the lead from the spot. In doing so, he became the first player to score at five World Cups.
Andre Ayew would equalise less than 10 minutes later before Joao Felix and Rafael Leao's strikes saw Portugal hit the front again. With the game seemingly won, Ronaldo was substituted in the 88th minute.
