Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Ghana striker Osman Bukari says he did not disrespect Cristiano Ronaldo when he copied the Portugal star’s goal celebration after scoring against them in their World Cup Group H match on Thursday.<\/b><\/p>\n

Substitute Bukari pulled a goal back to make it 3-2 in the 89th minute before running towards a corner flag and recreating Ronaldo’s famous ‘Siu’ pose.<\/p>\n

The former Manchester United forward had given Portugal the lead with a milestone goal at Stadium 974 in Doha but had been substituted by the time Bukari headed in from six yards.<\/p>\n

“I have noticed my celebration has generated comments claiming I was disrespectful towards Ronaldo,” the 23-year-old posted on Twitter.<\/p>\n

“This is incorrect. I was overcome by the emotion of the moment of scoring for my country on my World Cup debut leading to my celebration.<\/p>\n

“My upbringing doesn’t permit me to be disrespectful to elders let alone one of my idols.”<\/p>\n

The 2016 European champions managed to close out the win, leaving Ghana bottom of the group following the opening round of games after Uruguay and South Korea drew 0-0 earlier on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo became the first man to score at five different Fifa World Cups when he put Portugal ahead with a 65th-minute penalty after he went down following a challenge from Mohammed Salisu.<\/p>\n

Black Stars coach Otto Addo was unimpressed with the officiating by referee Ismail Elfath.<\/p>\n

“I think it was a really wrong decision, we were playing the ball. I don’t know why VAR (Video Assistant Referee) did not come up, there was no explanation for it,” said Addo.<\/p>\n

“It was a wrong decision. It was actually a foul against us.”<\/p>\n

Addo said he had tried to talk to the referee about some of the decisions after the match.<\/p>\n

“I wanted to do it in a calm way but I was told he was in a meeting. He was not in our favour. We got a few yellow cards which were deserved but there was also holding of jerseys and stopping counter-attacks that were also yellow cards but not given to them.”<\/p>\n

Asked about Ronaldo’s milestone goal, Addo said: “If somebody scores a goal, congratulations. But this was a gift, really a gift.”<\/p>\n

Brighton wing-back Tariq Lamptey also came on as a second-half substitute and said his World Cup finals debut was a “bittersweet” moment.<\/p>\n

“It’s difficult. On another day we get a different result,” the 22-year-old added.<\/p>\n

“We always believed in ourselves and always believed that we could get a good result.<\/p>\n

“We have to just dust ourselves down now, work hard in training and look forward to the next game.”<\/p>\n

Ghana play South Korea in their second Group H match on Monday (13:00 GMT), with their final game against Uruguay on Friday, 2 December.<\/p>\n
