Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a statement performance on the biggest stage, scoring twice as Portugal demolished Uzbekistan 5-0 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The 41-year-old opened the scoring early in the match before adding a second before halftime, leading Portugal to their first win of the tournament in dominant fashion.
With those two goals, Ronaldo officially became the first player in football history to score in six different World Cups, adding yet another historic milestone to his legendary career. He also moved past Eusébio to become Portugal’s all-time top scorer in World Cup history, underlining his impact once again on the international stage.
After criticism following Portugal’s opening draw, Ronaldo responded the way only he can — with goals, records, and a reminder that he still delivers when it matters most. Portugal now head into their final group match with momentum, and Ronaldo has once again put himself at the center of the football world.
