The statistics from the encounter paint a particularly grim picture for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. Opta reported that Ronaldo registered just 25 touches during the 90 minutes, his lowest-ever tally in a major tournament match where he played the full duration. Furthermore, the blank in Houston extends his drought to 10 consecutive matches in major international tournaments without a goal, a run spanning 33 shots and 11 efforts on target.
