Portugal e México empatam em 0 a 0 em amistoso da Copa do Mundo de 2026 no Estádio Azteca

Portugal empatou em 0 a 0 com o México, um dos anfitriões da Copa do Mundo de 2026, em um amistoso preparatório realizado neste sábado no Estádio Azteca, localizado em grande altitude. O técnico Roberto Martínez elogiou o retorno do reserva Paulinho à seleção após um período de ausência, em um confronto marcado por tensões entre Pedro Neto, do Chelsea, e o mexicano Jesús Gallardo.

O renovado Estádio Azteca, situado a 2.200 metros acima do nível do mar e com capacidade para mais de 83 mil pessoas, foi o palco do empate sem gols entre Portugal e México. Com Cristiano Ronaldo, Rafael Leão e Rodrigo Mora lesionados, Bruno Fernandes assumiu a braçadeira de capitão de Portugal e criou uma chance logo no início para Gonçalo Ramos, cujo chute parou na trave. O México ameaçou no fim com uma cabeçada do reserva Armando González, que passou para fora. Ambos os treinadores — Roberto Martínez por Portugal e Javier Aguirre pelo México — elogiaram a intensidade da partida, apesar da ausência de gols.
