Cristiano Ronaldo topped the headlines of the fifth day of the 2022 World Cup, after he contributed to his country's first victory in the World Cup in Qatar, and broke a new record, with the goal he scored against Ghana from a controversial penalty kick, in the first Group H match.

For his part, the first candidate to win the title, Brazil, suffered in the first half against Serbia, but achieved what was required in the second half, and ended the match victoriously with two unanswered goals, signed by Tottenham's English star, Richalison.

The matches of the fifth day did not carry any major surprises, except for the South Korean national team forcing its Uruguayan counterpart to share points, after imposing a goalless draw on it.

The African teams continued their fast from victory in the 2022 edition at the end of the first round of the group stage, as Cameroon was defeated by Switzerland, with a single goal, in Group G competitions, scored by a player of Cameroonian origin.

"Cameroonian" scores on Cameroon!

An unfamiliar scene in the national team matches, which took place in the Cameroon match against Switzerland on the first match of the fifth day of the World Cup, when a player refused to celebrate his goal because of his "respect for the opposing team."

The incident occurred in the 48th minute, when the player Brill Embolo scored the winning goal for Switzerland, and it became clear after that that the reason was the player’s Cameroonian origins, as he was born and raised in Cameroon before deciding to represent the Diaspora national team, Switzerland.

Embolo, who has Cameroonian origin, scores the goal for Switzerland and refuses to celebrate.

The shot of not celebrating topped the scene of the match, and left wide interactions on social media, especially since this movement we only see in club matches when the player refuses to celebrate a goal out of respect for his former club.

Valverde almost did it

Goals were absent from the Uruguay-South Korea match, but on the other hand, the club, suspense and excitement were present in all phases of the match, as the post prevented on more than one occasion from Uruguay not celebrating the goals.

Impossible!!!!


The post deprives Valverde of the winning goal 😬 #WorldCup_Qatar_2022 |

After Godin's header in the second round, Valverde, the Real Madrid star, almost shot the South Koreans in the 88th minute of the match after he hit a powerful ball, in his usual way with Madrid, but it hit the post, depriving Uruguay of the three match points.

Judgment of Moroccan origin

The International Federation of Football Associations appointed the American referee, Ismail Al-Fateh, to lead the match that brought together Portugal and Ghana, which was held at Stadium 974.

As his name indicates, Al-Fateh is of Arab origins and exactly from Morocco, where he saw the light and received his education, to decide to migrate to the country of the year Sam in 2001.

Al-Fateh worked initially as a consultant in the field of communication, then entered the world of arbitration to become one of the most prominent referees in America.

The “World Cup” is one of the most prominent events that he will lead its matches, after he recorded his presence in a group of large events such as the U-19 World Cup, in 2019, and the Club World Cup for the same year, in addition to the recent Tokyo Olympics matches.

Ronaldo goal and a new record

Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo continued to break records, after he re-entered the FIFA World Cup golden record, and became the first player in history to score in five different versions of the World Cup.

The "Don" got a penalty kick in the match that brought together his country's national team in Ghana, in the first match of the group stage, which he converted himself into the first goal in the 65th minute.

And the Don did it and gave progress to the Portugal national team 🇵🇹💪🏽

Ronaldo became the first player in history to achieve this number, having visited the net in the previous five editions (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022).

Ronaldo, ahead of a group of stars who scored in 4 different versions, and it comes to both the Argentine Lionel Messi and the Germans Miroslav Klose, Owe Züle, and the Brazilian.

It is noteworthy that Ronaldo's first goal was against Iran in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, while his last goal was against Morocco in the last World Cup in Russia.

Controversial penalty

Former Egyptian international referee Gamal Al-Ghandour, the arbitration analyst for BN Sport channels, questioned the validity of the penalty kick that Cristiano Ronaldo obtained against Ghana, which was calculated by the American-Moroccan referee, Ismail Al-Fateh, and video technology did not intervene after his decision.

Al-Ghandour said, "He does not believe that the contact that occurred between Ronaldo and the Brazilian defender necessitates the announcement of the penalty kick, because both players reached the ball at the same time, and there was no clear obstruction in the operations box."

The most beautiful goal in the tournament

Brazil's first victory in the World Cup in Qatar bore the imprint of Tottenham's English striker, Richalison, who scored both goals in the match.

But the most beautiful imprint was in his second goal, which he scored in the 73rd minute, after he scored it in a wonderful half-air way, which he put into the net of the Serbian goalkeeper.

Richalison's goal, according to commentators, is the most beautiful in the tournament so far, after the goal scored by Salem Al-Dosari against Brazil.
