In the 38th minute, Portugal was awarded a free kick on the left wing after Rafael Leao's dribbling effort. As usual, Ronaldo was responsible for the free kick, but instead of placing the ball at the exact spot of the foul, CR7 moved up to be closer to the Slovenian goal.
However, Ronaldo's trick did not escape the eyes of the main referee Orsato. The Italian "king in black" then asked Ronaldo to pull the ball down to the right position. When the referee discovered it, Ronaldo grinned, creating an interesting moment for the fans.
In the free kick, Ronaldo decided to shoot straight instead of passing into the penalty area to his teammates but the ball went off target. CR7 handled the situation a bit too individually, and if he had made the pass, the opportunity would have been clearer for Portugal.
A few minutes earlier, Ronaldo had also taken a direct free kick, but the ball went over the Slovenian goal. Throughout the first half, the 39-year-old striker was active, actively working back to coordinate with his teammates. Unfortunately, he still could not score..
