Real pick and mix this one, main points being;
1: Red Card 90+1
2: Goal/no goal 90+3
3: Full on tantrum from Ronaldo afterwards
Not red for the challenge myself; for me that’s firmly in the reckless category, but not endangering.
Goal - no goal. Surprised there was no GLT in this tie as a full international. With the naked eye it’s impossible to say, and there’s no AI modelling in the video to be sure. Giving a goal there is guesswork, so the decision is appropriate. Assistant is perfectly placed though.
Ronaldo’s confrontation and impeding of the assistant after that rightly gets a caution. Not clear if the other Portugal players who surround the referee at the final whistle picked up anything (they should have done) as the camera is on Ronaldo’s meltdown.
Disappointing comments from the Portugal coaches after the game; some quotes accused match officials of cheating which is downright wrong.
Be interesting to see what if any further action is taken.
