Ghana player Osman Bukari has claimed his celebration against Portugal was not a mark of disrespect.
When Bukari netted in the latter stages of their World Cup clash to bring the score to 3-2 in Portugal’s favor, he celebrated in iconic fashion.
Bukari copied the “Siu” celebration of Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo, who had scored the opener in the game before being substituted.

Post-game, he posted on Twitter stating: “I have noticed my celebration today has generated comments claiming I was disrespectful towards Ronaldo. 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.
“My upbringing doesn’t permit me to be disrespectful to elders let alone one of my idols.
“Thanks for your support and we focus on our next game.”
