Cristiano Ronaldo made history at the 2026 World Cup with a new milestone. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The Portuguese national team defeated Uzbekistan 5:0 in the group stage match. In this game held in Houston, the 41-year-old forward scored two goals, proving he remains in top form.
This was reported by Goal.com. The victory secured Portugal three crucial points in the tournament.
For the team that drew with DR Congo in the previous round and faced criticism, this win was psychologically vital. In an interview with Sport TV, Ronaldo described the past week as a difficult period and responded to critics with his performance on the field.
Ronaldo became the first footballer to score in six separate World Cups. This achievement further solidifies his status as the most prolific scorer in international football history.
He also increased his World Cup goal tally to 10, surpassing the Portuguese legend Eusebio’s record. At the start of the match, João Cancelo passed the ball to Ronaldo, who finished with a half-volley into the net.
After the game, he shared a unique message on social media. On his Instagram page, he posted “We are still here,” responding to critics with a quiet but powerful statement.
Goal.com rated Ronaldo’s performance in this match as 9 out of 10. For the Uzbekistan national team, this match was a valuable learning experience.
Although the score was heavy, Uzbekistan’s players fought respectfully against a strong opponent. However, Portugal’s experience and attacking quality ultimately decided the outcome.
This loss complicates Uzbekistan’s chances of advancing to the next stage, but simply participating in the World Cup is a major achievement for our national football. Ronaldo spoke about his team’s mental strength, saying: I am very happy, but what matters most is what the team has accomplished and the trust we have in each other.
We received a lot of criticism this week, we expected it, but the team improved and gave a fitting response. For the star currently defending Al-Nassr’s honor, this World Cup may be his last major tournament.
Each of his goals and records carries historical significance not only for Portugal but for football fans worldwide. The Portuguese national team has improved its position in the group and taken a confident step toward reaching the knockout stage.
