Ronaldo claimed he had got the faintest of touches with his head on Bruno Fernandes' cross to give Portugal the lead as he celebrated jubilantly, but FIFA later awarded the goal to Fernandes. The Manchester United midfielder, however, credited Ronaldo with the goal as he told reporters afterwards: "The feeling I had was that Cristiano touched the ball." But Adidas have have now proven the 37-year-old never touched Fernandes' cross thanks to a sensor inside the ball.
