Doha: Cristiano Ronaldo looked disappointed as his defensive error helped Korea Republic equalise against Portugal in a Group H game at the Education City stadium in the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022. Portugal have already qualified for the round of 16.
Portugal took the lead in fifth minute thanks to a Ricardo Horta strike. However, the former Manchester United was at fault during the South Korean equaliser. Following a Korea Republic corner, Ronaldo surprisingly ducked out of a header.
Al Loro que #CristianoRonaldo va de récord en récord, tras ser el primer futbolista en anotar sin tocar el balón ⚽ en la segunda jornada, hoy se convierte en el primero en asistir de “espaldinha” a un rival 😅#Qatar2022 #WorldcupQatar2022 #PortugalVsSouthKorea pic.twitter.com/ALfHvqJ2uU

The ball hit Ronaldo’s back before falling in front of Kim Young-gwon who stretched to tap in the equaliser for Korea past Portugal goalie Diogo Costa in the 36th minute. Besides, Ronaldo also missed a couple of chances that could have taken Portugal to a comfortable position in the game.
Among them, one was when he headed wide much to the disappointment of all Portuguese in the stadium. The ball came in from the right and as a Korean defender tried to clear it, it fell for a Portugal player who shot straight at the goalkeeper.
