Besiktas defender Pepe received a slap on the back from Morocco captain Medhi Benatia after a corner toward the end of the game resulting in Pepe throwing himself on the ground.

Social media was quick to ridicule the Portugal centre-back, with BBC presenter Gary Lineker referring to him as "a dick".

See Pepe is still a dick.

Pepe is without doubt the most pathetic footballer in the world. The sooner he retires the better. pic.twitter.com/Tvo2kQ61tI

The 1-0 win for Portugal means they now have one foot in the knockout stages.
