'It seemed to me that he had touched the ball' - Ronaldo's role in Portugal's goal has people divided
Portugal has booked themselves a place in the last 16 as they dispatched Uruguay 2-0 at the Lusail Stadium courtesy of a Bruno Fernandes brace.
After a fairly even first half, Portugal came out the better side in the second and found a breakthrough in the 54th minute through Fernandes.
The Manchester United playmaker whipped in a dangerous cross into the box, and it seemed as if Cristiano Ronaldo scored with the faintest of touches, and the original decision was a Ronaldo goal.
However, FIFA quickly reversed their original decision to give Ronaldo the goal and gave it to Fernandes instead, causing widespread confusion as Ronaldo celebrated the goal as if he had scored it himself.
Replays have shown that it was very close, and it's likely that you'd need a magnifying glass to be certain if Ronaldo had touched it or not. With the matter still being debated as of now, Twitter was the place to be to try and figure out if he touched it or not.
Here are some of Twitter's reactions:
That's Bruno's goal? What we saying?

Goal or not, Ronaldo played well again tonight. For all the talk of him being finished, he’s playing a big part for Portugal on the biggest stage. At 37. Unparalleled.
Ronaldo's claiming it... but FIFA have given the goal to Bruno
