Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the first player to score in six different FIFA World Cup tournaments after scoring twice in Portugal’s 5-0 win over Uzbekistan in Group K of the 2026 World Cup in Houston. Ronaldo opens the scoring in the sixth minute, then adds a second goal in the run-up to halftime, taking his World Cup record to goals in editions spanning 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2026. The match also features goals from Nuno Mendes and Rafael Leao, plus an own goal, as Portugal’s dominance builds throughout the first half and continues after the break. Multiple reports note Ronaldo entered the game under scrutiny following earlier tournament matches, including a scoreless or low-output period, but he responds with the two goals against Uzbekistan. Separate sources add that Ronaldo’s brace increases his World Cup tally and places him ahead of Portugal’s previous all-time World Cup scoring mark. Portugal move to the top of Group K and are scheduled to face Colombia in their final group match, with the result bringing them closer to qualification for the knockout rounds.
