Cristiano Ronaldo endured a frustrating outing in Portugal's World Cup warm-up against Nigeria despite his side securing a 2-1 victory.

The 41-year-old forward had a handful of opportunities but could not convert them, leaving questions over his sharpness heading into the World Cup.

Ronaldo missed the chance to add to his record-breaking international tally, which currently stands at 143 goals for Portugal.

Portugal secured the win with a strong lineup, including midfielder duo Vitinha and Joao Neves, and Manchester United creator Bruno Fernandes.

The team will depart on Friday for their training base in Palm Beach, Florida, where preparations for the tournament will continue.

Their World Cup campaign begins on June 17 against the Democratic Republic of Congo in Houston, before further Group K fixtures against Uzbekistan and Colombia.
