From the start of the match, coach Roberto Martinez fielded a strong lineup with Ronaldo leading the attack. However, the 41-year-old striker had an unlucky day. In both halves, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner had opportunities to face the Nigerian goalkeeper but failed to convert them into goals.
Ronaldo's incredible miss came in the 9th minute. Receiving a cross from a teammate, CR7 faced the Nigerian goalkeeper but his shot went wide of the goal.
On social media, many fans mocked Ronaldo's missed opportunity. One account wrote: "Is he past his prime?". Another fan commented: "Ronaldo isn't as sharp as he used to be." Yet another fan stated: "Ronaldo needs to be more clinical with his chances at the World Cup."
In this match, Ronaldo played 64 minutes before being substituted for Goncalo Ramos. During his time on the field, CR7 neither scored nor assisted. He created one scoring opportunity for a teammate and missed three clear chances, according to statistics from FotMob .
This was Portugal's second consecutive friendly victory after beating Chile 2-1 a few days ago. Coach Roberto Martinez's team will enter the 2026 World Cup with great confidence as they are in Group K alongside DR Congo, Uzbekistan, and Colombia.
