As Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Portgual attack in a victory over Scotland, a PITCH invader attempted to give him a hug.

The moment Nuno Mendes sent in a low cross, the superstar knocked it in to complete the win in the 88th.

A few minutes later, while stoppage time was approaching, a fan tried to approach Ronaldo by coming onto the pitch.

That occurred as Portugal launched an offensive, with CR7 attempting to add a third goal.

The pitch invader missed Ronaldo on his first attempt, but some bad luck from his pursuer gave him another chance to get close to his idol.

On the turf, a steward pursued the supporter but at a critical juncture, he slipped onto his posterior.

That allowed the fan the chance to get closer to Ronaldo, but the former Real Madrid star was having none of it and made sure to keep his distance.

Fans found the incident amusing, though some were annoyed it prevented Ronaldo from being able to add to his goal tally after notching the 901st goal of his career against the Scots.

One supporter said: “The way the steward fell down when running after the pitch invader 😭😭😂”

Another added: “Stunning dive from the steward.”

A third wrote: “The pitch invader just stopped Ronaldo from scoring 902 goals. He should be jailed for life.”

Following goals against Croatia and Scotland, Ronaldo’s 900th goal gave Portugal the lead in their Nations League group.

First-half goals from Scott McTominay and former Manchester United teammate Bruno Fernandes leveled the score with long-range efforts.
