According to Starr FM, the home fans were not satisfied with the performance of the referee and decided to descend on them mercilessly.

Meanwhile, In another story, Portugal manager, Fernando Santos has said that referee Danny Makkelie has apologised to his team after disallowing Cristiano Ronaldo late goal in their 2-2 draw against Serbia on Saturday.

Ronaldo thought he had won the match for Portugal in added time of the World Cup qualification match but his cool finish was denied.

Serbia came back in the second to cancel out Portugal’s 2-0 lead but captain Ronaldo drew home what looked to be a dramatic later winner.

“They tied the match but we reacted well, creating opportunities. At the end, the ball was half a metre in but it was not given. It would have been a just result if it counted.

“Of course, it does not make up for the fact that we didn’t do well enough. But, if we had the ball in the goal, it should have counted.”
