Portugal coach explains Ronaldo decision after Congo match

Portugal national team coach Roberto Martinez defended keeping Cristiano Ronaldo on the field until the end of the match against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which ended in a 1-1 draw at the 2026 World Cup. He confirmed that Ronaldo was one of the main attacking options given the difficulty in breaking down the defenses, and that substituting him at that moment was not logical. He also pointed out that his team's start was good, but an early goal led to a decline in performance and disrupted control, appreciating the efforts of the Congo national team, which played a strong match both physically and tactically.
