Morocco eliminated Portugal on Saturday in a 1-0 victory in the World Cup quarterfinals.
Veteran forward Cristiano Ronaldo was notably absent from the start of that match.
After the defeat, Portugal head coach Fernando Santos stood by the decision not to start Ronaldo, according to ESPN’s Rob Dawson.
"I don't think so, no regrets," Santos said. "I think this was a team which played very well against Switzerland. Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player, he came in when we thought it was necessary, so no regrets.
