The referee immediately rushed over, signaling for the medic to come onto the pitch.
O'Neill stood on the sidelines, fists clenched, watching intently as the medic knelt beside Ronaldo.
Tension swept through the stadium as fans held their breath, waiting to see if Ronaldo was okay.
Meanwhile, the referee pulled out a yellow card, showing it to the player who had made the reckless challenge. But all eyes remained fixed on the fallen Ronaldo.
Ronaldo slowly rose, wincing with each step. His teammates gathered around him, offering words of encouragement, but it was clear the injury was affecting his movement.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Ronaldo said, trying to brush off the pain.
He adjusted his boots, gave a brief nod to the referee to signal he was ready to continue, and made a gesture to O'Neill indicating he was okay—prompting a sigh of relief from the coach.
