Cristiano Ronaldo notched two goals in Portugal’s commanding 5-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, maintaining their flawless record in Group J.
Ronaldo, who already holds the men’s international goal-scoring record with 127 goals, opened the scoring with an early penalty and followed it up with a skillful chip that extended Portugal’s lead in Zenica. However, the Portuguese star faced an unpleasant incident during Monday’s qualifier.
In the 38th minute of the match, a fervent fan eager to meet Ronaldo and snap a photo with him confronted the 38-year-old striker. The situation turned precarious as both the fan and security personnel pushed and jostled Ronaldo. Fortunately, security ultimately removed the fan from the stadium, allowing the match between the two nations to resume without further disruption.
In recent matches of the Portuguese national team, several pitch invaders have attempted to get a photo with Ronaldo. This poses a safety risk for CR7, and it underscores the need for enhanced security measures to prevent such incidents from recurring.
