This has made fans on social media give some hilarious reactions. Ronaldo is always eager to score goals on the field and this is one of the qualities that has made him the top scorer, and he is always keen to add to that tally.

Portugal beat Uruguay 2-0, with both goals scored by Bruno Fernandes. With the win, Portugal made it to the knockouts to join France and Brazil. They next take on South Korea, who lost to Ghana, in their last group-stage match. Either South Korea, Ghana, and Uruguay will join Portugal in the knockout stage from Group H.

Alexi Lalas claims Cristiano Ronaldo Texted Piers Morgan

Former US international soccer player Alexi Lalas, while speaking on Fox Sports, claimed that Ronaldo texted about the first goal to Piers Morgan.

He said that Cristiano texted him from the locker room saying he believes that it touched his head. Who knows…”

The goal in question was scored in the 54th minute of the game. Fernandes sent in a cross inside the box that went into Uruguay’s goal. Ronaldo went to celebrate the goal, claiming it touched his head. The replays showed otherwise, and the goal was awarded to Bruno Fernandes. Ronaldo wasn’t happy at the end of the match and kept claiming it brushed his head.
