A fan who snagged Cristiano Ronaldo’s jersey on Thursday night turned out to be the older sister of the soccer superstar.

In a video posted by TSN, Ronaldo can be seen handing his jersey to Kátia Aveiro after Portugal defeated Croatia 2-1 in the final World Cup match at Toronto Stadium.

After receiving it, she can be seen cheering and dancing with the jersey.

Ronaldo scored one of the goals in Thursday’s match on a penalty kick. It was his first knockout stage goal in the World Cup.

Ronaldo has stated publicly that this would be his last time participating in a FIFA World Cup tournament.

Portugal will be moving on to the round of 16 and will face Spain in Dallas on July 6.

Correction

A previous version of this story did not correctly identify the "fan" who received the jersey as Ronaldo's sister.
