干旱仍在继续：C罗在葡萄牙队表现极其糟糕

Drought goes on: CR7 hits a VERY poor mark for Portugal

Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a performance to forget this Wednesday (17).

The striker failed to score in the 1-1 draw between Portugal and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the teams’ World Cup opener.

João Neves scored Portugal’s only goal in the match played in Houston.

As a result, Ronaldo saw a personal negative streak grow even longer.

He has not scored in any of his last ten World Cup or Euro matches.

At the last World Cup, Ronaldo opened the scoring for Portugal in the opener against Ghana with a penalty.

But he then went scoreless in the next four matches of the campaign.

In the last two, against Switzerland and Morocco, the striker started on the bench and came on in the second half.

Two years ago, at the Euros held in Germany, Portugal played five matches before being eliminated by France in the quarterfinals.

Ronaldo did not find the net in those games, even missing a penalty against Slovenia.
