Portugal Dominates North Korea in 7-0 World Cup Rout
Impressive Performance Leads to Convincing Victory
Portugal's dominance was evident throughout the match
Lisbon, Portugal —WEB Portugal put on a dominant performance in their World Cup opener, crushing North Korea 7-0 on Monday. The victory marked one of the most lopsided results in World Cup history and sets the tone for Portugal's hopes of advancing deep into the tournament.
WEB Portugal controlled the match from the outset, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring in the first half to give his team the lead. The Portuguese added goals from Pepe, Raul Meireles, Simão Sabrosa, Tiago, and Hugo Almeida in the second half to seal the victory and secure a perfect start to their World Cup campaign.
North Korea struggled to create any chances against a well-organized Portugal defense. The North Koreans were also hampered by the absence of star striker Jong Tae-se, who was suspended for the match.
The victory was a major boost for Portugal, which is aiming to reach the semifinals of the tournament for the first time since 2006. The Portuguese will next face Ivory Coast on June 15 in their second Group G match.
