Vaclik and Ronaldo went up for a high ball, with the Olympiacos stopper’s arms accidentally smashing into his opponent’s face.
After receiving treatment on the pitch and when the blood was cleaned up, CR7 continued with a plaster on his nose, but did not score and gave away a penalty, ultimately missed by Patrik Schick.
Despite his injury, the 37-year-old is expected to play up front in his country’s last match before the Qatar World Cup in November, a Nations League clash with Iberian rivals Spain in Braga on Monday which will decide the winner of Group B.
