Pedro Neto put Portugal ahead early in the match, but before that, in the 8th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo had a golden opportunity that left fans stunned when he failed to find the back of the net.

While any player can miss a chance, this one was particularly surprising. Later, with the score level at 1-1 after Akor Adams equalised for Nigeria, Ronaldo had another opportunity to make his mark. However, in an unusual turn of events, he failed to convert once more — something rarely seen from him in front of goal.

How do you think CR7 will perform when he arrives at the World Cup?
