A pitch invader hit footballer Cristiano Ronaldo’s trademark goal celebration ‘Siuuu’ during the World Cup qualifier between Pakistan and Tajikistan. Pakistan hosted Tajikistan in the second round of Asian qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on November 21, at the Jinnah Stadium in Islamabad. During the match, a football fan invaded the pitch and performed the iconic celebration.
In a video doing rounds on social media, a fan could be seen entering the field and performing Portugal skipper’s iconic celebration. However, he was chased by the security and left the field after it. It seems that the game didn’t begin by then as there were no players on the ground. Hence, the fan’s move didn’t cause any interruption or delay in the game.
Watch the video here:
Coming back to the match, the visitors thrashed their hosts 6-1 in the clash that took place on Tuesday. Tajikistan’s Amadoni Kamolov netted the first goal nine minutes into the game, which came after a minor deflection from Abdullah Iqbal. It didn’t take long for the hosts to double their lead with yet another magnificent strike by Rustam Soirov.
Pakistan’s goal came into the 21st minute, which proved to be their only goal for the rest of the game. Pakistan are currently positioned at the 193rd spot with 864.84 points on the FIFA Men’s World Ranking, while Tajikistan have grabbed the 109th spot. They will now lock horns with their Group G opponents Jordan on March 21, 2024.
