Ronaldo scores at sixth World Cup as Portugal run riot

Cristiano Ronaldo made history in Portugal's 5-0 thrashing of Uzbekistan at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday, becoming the first male player to score in six different World Cup tournaments. Ronaldo scored a brace, surpassing Eusébio as Portugal's all-time leading scorer in the competition.

The dominant Group K victory took place at Houston Stadium, putting Portugal on the brink of the knockout stages. Ronaldo's early strike and subsequent performance entirely shifted the momentum following their disappointing opening draw against DR Congo.
