In addition to the double goal against Uzbekistan and the record for scoring goals in 6 consecutive World Cups, a spontaneous moment of Ronaldo in the match also became a topic shared a lot on social networks.
The situation appeared in Mendes' free kick leading to the goal to increase the score to 2-0. When the ball was placed in a favorable position in front of the penalty area, Ronaldo stood next to his teammate in a familiar posture every time he prepared to take a free kick. His appearance made the Uzbekistan defense and the audience believe that CR7 would be the one to finish.
However, instead of launching his signature shot, the 41-year-old striker suddenly performed a soft turn right when Nuno Mendes rushed up to take the free kick.
The video recorded from the stands shows that this spin took place very naturally, making many people think of the movement of a ballet dancer on the pitch.
This moment quickly spread on social media platforms. Many fans left a series of humorous comments.
Many opinions believe that Ronaldo contributed to distracting the opponent's defense, creating conditions for Nuno Mendes to score.
After the ball went into the net, the camera also captured the image of Ronaldo smiling and pointing his finger at his head as if wanting to emphasize that this was a combination plan that had been calculated in advance.
The sensational turn became even more special in a match where Ronaldo made a big mark with a double-goal and a scoring record in 6 consecutive World Cups.
