Ronaldo's 'hoax' goes viral.

Although he didn't directly score the goal that put Real Madrid 2-0 up against Uzbekistan, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo still attracted a lot of attention from fans.

Late on June 23rd, a notable incident occurred during the Portugal vs. Uzbekistan match in Group K of the 2026 World Cup . In the 17th minute, Portugal was awarded a free kick just outside the opponent's penalty area, precisely in what is considered a familiar "hot spot" for Ronaldo.

With the distance and angle favorable, almost all eyes on the pitch were on CR7. From the spectators in the stands to Uzbekistan's goalkeeper Abduvohid Nematov, everyone believed that Ronaldo would be the one to take the shot.

However, instead of taking his signature shot, Ronaldo became the "bait" in a surprising Portuguese combination. CR7's presence in front of the ball distracted the Uzbekistan wall and goalkeeper, allowing Nuno Mendes to comfortably gauge the angle of his shot. The PSG defender then sent the ball low and into the net, doubling the lead for the European side.
