Cristiano Ronaldo experienced a remarkable moment during Portugal's Euro qualifier against Bosnia. The match ended with a 3-0 victory for Portugal, with goals from Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes. However, the highlight of the game occurred when a pitch invader managed to breach security and approached Ronaldo on the field. The invader bowed to Ronaldo, who smiled and embraced him. Surprisingly, the invader then crouched down, wrapped his arms around Ronaldo's waist, and lifted him up. Despite the security breach, Ronaldo remained composed and even performed his iconic "siu" goal celebration with the enthusiastic fan. The incident went viral on social media, with a video capturing the encounter. The invader successfully evaded security by sprinting away to a different side of the pitch, wearing a beaming smile on his face. This incident follows a similar occurrence a few weeks ago when Ronaldo was almost tackled by an overzealous pitch invader during a warm-up session for Al-Nassr's match against Al-Tawoun in the Saudi Pro League. Fortunately, no harm was done, and Ronaldo continued his impressive performance. With the recent win, Portugal has extended their lead at the top of Group J in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, having won all three of their matches. They currently hold a two-point advantage over second-placed Slovakia, while Bosnia finds themselves in fourth position after dropping below Luxembourg due to their latest defeat.
