During the match between Portugal and Uzbekistan, Joao Felix placed a wig on Bruno Fernandes to celebrate a goal during the match.
Right after Manchester United midfielder assisted Cristiano Ronaldo‘s goal during Portugal’s 5-0 victory over Uzbekistan, Félix spotted a friend of his on the sidelines, snatched the wig right off his head and plopped it onto an unsuspecting Fernandes while the team huddled to celebrate.
Fernandes was so focused on celebrating the goal that he didn’t even notice the new hair transformation at first, which created a viral, hilarious photo opportunity for fans and stunned teammates alike.
