Striker Sadio Mané recovered possession in the face of poor rival control to begin his journey against another team’s field. The Senegalese took a few moments to make a deep pass for the arrival of CR7 when an intense smoke began to settle over the area defended by Édouard Mendy. The goalkeeper tried to advance to reduce the Portuguese’s shooting range, but the smoke prevented any reaction to the cross shot embedded against the left post. The lack of visibility gave another spice to the ghostly image, since it is not possible to see clearly when the ball crosses the goal line.

The 38-year-old footballer rushed out to celebrate against one of the sides of the stadium with his teammates, while Mendy quickly got up to protest against the Brazilian referee Anderson Daronco, but the play was completely legal. It should be clarified that if for the judge this factor does not harm the goalkeeper’s vision, there is no reason to annul the action. Although, if he had considered it, he should have stopped the game earlier and, once the smoke cleared, resumed with a bounce to land.
