Portugal skipper Cristiano Ronaldo caught slapping Ireland defender before missing penalty – WATCH

Cristiano Ronaldo seemingly slapped Ireland defender Dara O'Shea during last night's Portugal vs Ireland World Cup Qualifier match.

Portugal skipper Cristiano Ronaldo was in the spotlight yet again as he scored his 110th international goal to surpass Iran legend Ali Daie's tally as he broke the all-time men's scoring record in their World Cup qualifying match against the Republic of Ireland on Wednesday (local time). However, Ronaldo not only made headlines for his record but also for losing his cool during the match as the star striker was surprisingly seen slapping the Irish defender Dara O’Shea before he could take the penalty kick. The incident took place in the 15th minute of the match after Portugal was awarded a penalty for a foul on Bruno Fernandes inside the box. Meanwhile, Ronaldo stepped up to take the penalty but lost his temper when West Brom defender O’Shea knocked the ball off the penalty spot after which the Manchester United forward retaliated by slapping O'Shea in the face.
