As the referee blew for full-time, Ronaldo was among the first to leave the field of play. He was seen walking with his head down, clearly disgruntled by both the result and his own performance, which saw several chances go begging. Although he paused briefly to acknowledge some fans and shook hands with a member of the DR Congo coaching staff, he did not wait to participate in the traditional post-match lap of appreciation with his teammates.
