Portugal stagnated in the 2026 World Cup debut, drew 1-1 with DR Congo and saw Cristiano Ronaldo, at 41 years old, fail to make his mark, becoming a tactical burden in the attack. The game started with a lightning goal from João Neves, deceiving expectations of Portuguese dominance. What followed was an alarming offensive desert: the Portuguese team registered just one shot on goal during the ninety minutes.
