Fans Urge Portugal to Sub Ronaldo After Quiet First Half vs DR Congo
In the first half of Portugal’s match with DR Congo, Cristiano Ronaldo made almost no impact. He attempted zero dribbles, zero shots and lost nearly every duel. João Neves opened the scoring for Portugal, but DR Congo levelled just before halftime through Yoane Wissa. Ronaldo looked dejected as he walked off at the break. Social media users were quick to criticise. Some argued he should not return for the second half, calling his performance “like cardio”. Others joked they hadn’t even noticed him on the pitch. Fans will be watching closely to see if the five-time Ballon d’Or winner responds after the break. Expectations are high after Lionel Messi’s recent hat-trick against Algeria.
