Ronaldo was missing, and when he came off the field, Portugal scored and won.

The dress rehearsal for the World Cup was successful - the Portuguese national football team defeated Nigeria 2:1 tonight.

The Portuguese took the lead in the 23rd minute, when Pedro Neto capitalized on Diego Dalo's return pass, only for Nigeria to respond with a goal from Akora Adams in the 37th minute.

The final score was set in the 75th minute by Francisco Conceição.

And Cristiano Ronaldo didn't have his night. First, he missed a huge chance in the ninth minute, when he was alone in front of Nigeria goalkeeper Okoje, but shot wide, then in the 34th minute his header was inaccurate, and then at the start of the second half when he shot over the bar. Ronaldo kept missing, so he was substituted in the 65th minute. Ten minutes later, his teammates scored and won.

Apart from Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Joao Felix, who hit the crossbar, did not take advantage of good opportunities.

Portugal will play in Group K at the World Cup with the DR Congo, Uzbekistan and Colombia.
