Portugal then pulled away into a commanding 3-1 lead after quickfire goals from Joao Felix and Rafael Leao as Ronaldo was subbed off.
But the game was not over as Bakari popped up in the Portugal box to pull one back for the African side just before another lengthy stoppage time period.
He then raced over to the corner flag alone before audaciously copying the ‘Siu’ goal celebration.
A stunned Ronaldo watched on from the dugout and was seen shouting and throwing his arms up in frustration.

It sees the star propel himself high into the air as he does a full 180 spin.
As he lands on the ground, the former Real Madrid forward throws his arms across his body to strike a formidable pose.
Bakari was not able to get the same height on his leap but certainly seemed to get a reaction out of Ronaldo.
Football fans also could not believe their eyes at the cheeky celebration steal.
One wrote on Twitter: “Very entertaining second half of football. Loved Bakari’s celebration and Ronaldo’s face!”
Another said: “Haha Ghana’s Bakari with the most shameless celebration after a goal that I’ve seen in a while. How do you ‘siuuu’ while CR7 is on the bench. Hilarious stuff.”
And a third tweeter wrote: “Ghana’s Osman Bakari might be my new favouite player for hitting the Ronaldo celebration against Portugal.”
Aside from the copycat move, it was an enjoyable and historic night for the Portuguese talisman after a long week off the field.
Just days after he agreed with Manchester United to mutually rip up his contract, Ronaldo won and scored a penalty against Ghana.
The strike meant he became the first player in history to score at five different World Cups.
Bakari’s goal meant the game had a nervy conclusion which became even more dramatic after keeper Diogo Costa almost dropped an enormous and extraordinary clanger.
But Portugal held on to win 3-2 in a game that had been goalless until the 65th minute.
