When Fernandes was requested in regards to the objective, he stated, “I don’t think it really matters who scored,” Fernandes stated of the primary objective.
“At the time it looked like he (Ronaldo) touched the ball – I was crossing him – but what’s important is that we went to the next round and beat a much bigger opponent.”
Ultimately, Adidas offered proof that acknowledged that it was Fernandes who had scored the objective.
“In the match between Portugal and Uruguay, using the connected ball technology housed in adidas’ Al Rihla Official Match Ball, we were able to definitively show no contact with the ball as Cristiano Ronaldo scored the opening goal in the game.” Statement issued.
“No external forces can be exerted on the ball as shown by our measurements and the lack of ‘heartbeat’ in the attached graphic. The 500Hz IMU sensor inside the ball allows us to be highly accurate in our analysis,” stated within the assertion.
The match ball is fitted with a sensor inside which claims to offer correct outcomes after rigorous testing forward of the World Cup.
