After Ronaldo scored the important brace, the striker was forced to leave the pitch due to an injury. In the 115th minute, the Portuguese star had to be substituted and couldn’t walk off the pitch on his own. A picture surfaced of the moment when he was departing the field in a cart while touching his left knee as tears welled up in his eyes. Ali Al Hassan stepped in as his replacement.

Anyhow, he later had a smile on his face as he won not just the trophy with the team, but also the top-scorer award of the tournament. But eventually, that came at the cost of his injury.
