Portugal y México empatan 0-0 en amistoso rumbo al Mundial 2026 en el Estadio Azteca

Portugal empató 0-0 con México, coanfitrión del Mundial 2026, en un partido amistoso de preparación disputado este sábado en el Estadio Azteca, situado a gran altitud. El seleccionador Roberto Martínez elogió el regreso del suplente Paulinho tras su ausencia en el equipo nacional, en medio de un tenso enfrentamiento entre Pedro Neto, del Chelsea, y Jesús Gallardo, de México.

El renovado Estadio Azteca, ubicado a 2.200 metros sobre el nivel del mar y con capacidad para más de 83.000 espectadores, fue el escenario del empate sin goles entre Portugal y México. Ante las bajas por lesión de Cristiano Ronaldo, Rafael Leão y Rodrigo Mora, Bruno Fernandes asumió la capitanía de Portugal y generó una oportunidad temprana para Gonçalo Ramos, cuyo disparo se estrelló en el poste. México generó peligro en los últimos minutos con un cabezazo del suplente Armando González que salió desviado. Ambos entrenadores, Roberto Martínez por parte de Portugal y Javier Aguirre por parte de México, destacaron la intensidad del partido a pesar de la falta de goles.
