Portugal lost against Slovenia (2-0), in a friendly game played this Tuesday, at the Stožice Stadium, in Ljubljana. The team led by Cristiano Ronaldo missed out on their 12th consecutive victory, and the star trained at Sporting did not swallow the complaints he had about the refereeing of the friendly.
The defeat of the Seleção das Quinas against the Slovenes was somewhat unexpected, and had the support of Andraz Sporar, former Sporting striker, who started for the victors. In addition to being surprising, the home team’s triumph was also, from the point of view of some, unfair in terms of refereeing.
After the final whistle, CR7, one of the complainants of the game, ran off the pitch towards the tunnel to the changing rooms, while protesting with the 4th referee, gesturing, visibly dissatisfied with decisions made within the four lines, during the 90 minutes in that Portugal saw two yellow cards and a goal disallowed for offside.
Jake Bijol, the Slovenian central defender, who on several occasions ‘stung’ the Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo, was not the target of any penalty, which left the star trained in Alvalade clearly irritated throughout the match, leading to some challenges that even led to whistles in the stands. This issue was probably part of the reason for the Madeiran footballer’s dissatisfaction at the end of the game.
In the stands, the public was not indifferent to the Ronaldo’s return to the pitch for the national team, after failure in the friendly against Sweden by the lion Gyokeres. Hours before the clash began in Ljubjana, fans could already be seen wearing Sporting and Al Nassr jerseys with the number CR7, which was received with an ovation in the Slovenian stronghold.
