Roberto Martinez believes Portugal’s 5-0 win over Armenia to start their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign was a “complete performance”.

Joao Felix and Cristiano Ronaldo both scored twice for Portugal, with Joao Cancelo also getting on the scoresheet to take them top of Group F.

Portugal actually underperformed their 6.2 expected goals (xG), which they accumulated from 24 shots, nine of which were on target, while Bruno Fernandes also hit the post.

Diogo Costa was rarely called into action, making three saves, and Martinez was thrilled to get off the mark with a convincing victory.

“It’s important to start well, to hold on to the game, and we did that,” he said.

“The attitude was exemplary, we controlled the game, had a good rhythm, and after scoring the first goal, it was another game we also controlled with great discipline, because we kept trying to score and keep the goal clean.
