2026 World Cup: Ronaldo breaks new record with goal in Portugal vs Uzbekistan
Cristiano Ronaldo Becomes First Player to Score in Six World Cups
Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of the Portugal national football team, secured his place in history by becoming the first player to score in six different FIFA World Cup tournaments.
Ronaldo achieved this milestone during Portugal’s match against Uzbekistan in the ongoing tournament in North America, where he netted a goal just five minutes into play.
This performance comes after Ronaldo faced criticism from fans and analysts following Portugal’s goalless draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo in their opening match. Prior to the game against Uzbekistan, he had not scored in four consecutive matches for his national team and had gone ten games without a goal in major tournaments.
Ronaldo’s last goal in a major tournament was in Portugal’s opening match at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
