Mexico, Portugal draw 0-0 as Azteca Stadium reopens after World Cup renovations

Mexico and Portugal played to a scoreless draw on Saturday night in a warm-up match that marked the reopening of the Azteca Stadium after nearly two years of renovations for the 2026 World Cup. Goncalo Ramos had the best scoring chance in the match when he rattled the goalpost in the 26th minute. The iconic Azteca stadium, which hosted the finals of the 1970 and 1986 World Cup tournaments, has been closed since May 2024 for renovations for the upcoming World Cup, where it will host five matches: three first-round matches and two for the knockout stages.
