A game that was 1-1 and a great header for the winner. It happened in Italy with Cristiano Ronaldo as the star and happened in Scotland with Bevis Mugabi as the star. But there is a difference: 6 centimetres.
The defender sent the ball into the net 18 minutes before the end of the match with a great header. As soon as the ball hit the back of the net, the fans, in general, realised that the way in which the player had risen was not normal, a spectacular leap.
And it was the Ugandan's team that boasted about it on social media: yes, their defender has beaten the Juventus star. 262cm in the air and his feet 75cm off the ground in the case of the 'Well player; 256 and 71 in the case of the Portuguese.
Motherwell even accompanied their post with some creative artwork comparing the two jumps. A few fans were sceptical of the comparison, but after all, the club had access to several camera angles and will have made accurate checks before claiming such a milestone.
