After Fred was fouled in the penalty box, Fernandes allowed Ronaldo to take the spot kick, even though he was previously the team's designated penalty taker.
Post-game, Fernandes told BBC Sport about the situation: "We didn't have a chat.
"I missed the last one so I trust him in the same way I trust myself.
"It was time for Cristiano to take the penalty because I took the last one and missed it.
"It doesn't matter who gets on the penalty."
