March 2026
Portugal were held to a 0-0 draw by Mexico in a flat friendly that exposed their lack of attacking edge without Cristiano Ronaldo. Roberto Martinez’s side saw more of the ball and created slightly more danger, but still failed to turn possession into goals. Reuters reported Goncalo Ramos hit the post in the first half, while Bruno Fernandes also went close after the break. Mexico almost stole the match late on through Armando Gonzalez, but neither side could find a finish in a game short on quality in both boxes.
