Cristiano Ronaldo was beaming after glancing a header into the back of the net against Uruguay for Portugal on Monday night. Ronaldo thought he'd scored his second goal of the World Cup and he celebrated in unison with Bruno Fernandes.
Fernandes appeared to provide Ronaldo with an assist, but the replays of the goal showed the midfielder was actually the goalscorer. Although Ronaldo was initially credited with the goal, FIFA awarded the opener to Fernandes and that's what will be remembered on official records, much to the dismay of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
That was Fernandes' first World Cup goal and he added another in the final minutes of the match when Portugal were given a dubious penalty. Ronaldo was substituted off before Uruguay conceded that penalty and he would have stepped up if he was still on the pitch. He would have gone to sleep thinking he'd been robbed of two goals at the World Cup.
