WE’RE STILL RON THE RIGHT ROAD

-

PORTUGAL captain Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t panicking despite the European champions’ 2-2 draw with Mexico in the Confederat­ions Cup in Kazan. A stoppage-time header by Hector Moreno saw Mexico level after Portugal thought they had won it with Cedric Soares’ deflected shot four minutes from time. The result handed the early initiative in group A to hosts Russia, winners over New Zealand. But with Russia up next, Ronaldo (left) said: “We do not have to sound the alarm. If we win the next game we will be one step away from qualifying.” Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio said: “It was a very good result.” Ricardo Quaresma put Portugal ahead but former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez equalised.
