Cristiano Ronaldo astonished the world on December 18, 2019 when in a match between Juventus and Sampdoria he managed to score with a header after an impressive jump that earned the victory by a score of 1-2.
That time the Portuguese striker achieved a record figure in his jump before heading the ball. The records determined that the ‘Juve’ forward rose a total of 2.56 meters, in addition to unfolding 71 centimeters from the ground.
Unfortunately for him, given his ambition, Cristiano no longer owns that brand, which was taken from him by a Ugandan footballer. This is Bevis Mugabi, a 25-year-old defender who plays for Scotland’s Motherwell.
This Ugandan player was in charge of beating Cristiano’s mark, which seemed impossible. He did it in a similar setting: playing on the road, scoring the winning goal and with the same 1 x 2 score.
Mugabi scored this goal on Wednesday, January 27, in a Scottish Premiership game against Ross County. The touchdown was the product of a corner kick in the 72nd minute, which was assisted by Jake Carroll.
The Scottish team, which is currently in tenth position, boasted on their social networks that their defender reached a height of 2.62 meters, rising 75 centimeters. All this considering that it has a height of 1.87 meters.

This brand appears in the first place of his Twitter timeline, confirming with a comparative image that the Ugandan born surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo. This situation has begun to be analyzed due to the fact that it could have been a coincidence or the result of his training.
Bevis Mugabi was unknown to much of the world until before his touchdown. She was born in England on May 1, 1995, but adopted Ugandan nationality by her parents who are originally from that region of Africa.
He trained at Fulham and in 2011 was sold to Southampton; not finding success, he went to Yeovil Town in League Two (England’s Fourth Division). It arrived at Motherwell in 2019 and is currently worth $ 364,000.
