Ivory Coast 0-0 Portugal – Highlights Video

Ivory Coast and Portugal drew 0-0 as the first battle of two World Cup heavyweights failed to deliver a knock-out blow in Port Elizabeth.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s long-range rocket which struck the outside of the post in the first-half was a rare moment of excitement in a hugely disappointing affair at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

Prolific marksman Didier Drogba was declared unfit to start and had a late sight of goal, following his introduction midway through the second-half, but could not hit the target as the game petered out into a draw.

Just two efforts on target in the 90 minutes was a reflection of the paucity of attacking football on display.
