Hyde confirmed this intriguing fact, adding that Ronaldo himself was a firsthand witness to the moment. “That’s a fact I can confirm. Ronaldo, who stood there watching the game just at the side, witnessed this himself. And, as done what he [Aaron Hayden] does, he got above someone from a corner, and scored, just after one minute. He ran off into the corner sprinting off and all the boys were jogging behind him, and congratulating him”.
