The Portuguese scored the equaliser after the champions of the UAE took a shock lead, before Bale scored the decisive goal just a minute after coming off the bench.
However, some footage has emerged that suggests that perhaps it wasn't Bale who got the all-important second goal.
One particular Twitter account ('La Liga en números') has posted a video from behind the goal, which some believe shows Cristiano Ronaldo get a touch on Bale's goal-bound effort.
The Portuguese attempted to re-direct Bale's effort with an audacious backheel but whether he did get a touch or not remains unclear.
Check out the video for yourself and let us know your thoughts in the comments:
