Portugal Defeats Nigeria 2-1 in Final World Cup Preparation Match

Leiria. Portugal has registered a 2-1 victory against Nigeria in their final preparation match for the FIFA World Cup 2026. Although this victory has sent Portugal on their World Cup journey with high morale, the match turned out to be somewhat disappointing for the team's veteran striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the match held in Leiria on Wednesday night, former star of Manchester United and Real Madrid, Ronaldo, who is already 41 years old, missed golden opportunities to score. Ronaldo, who holds the record for the most goals in men's international football with 143 goals, failed to find the back of the net even when the goalkeeper was the only one ahead in both halves of the game.
