Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in Portugal’s 5-0 victory over Uzbekistan in a World Cup qualifying match, setting a new record as the first player to score in six different World Cup tournaments. The goal, scored in the 6th minute, marked his 10th overall in the competition, making him Portugal’s all-time leading scorer in World Cups. Ronaldo joins Lionel Messi as one of only two players to participate in six World Cups. At 39 years old, he is now among the oldest players to score in the tournament, second only to Cameroon’s Roger Milla. This achievement underscores Ronaldo’s enduring legacy and continued impact on the sport, having scored in every World Cup since 2006. The win represents Uzbekistan’s debut in World Cup qualifying, while solidifying Ronaldo’s place in football history.
