Summary
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in Portugal's World Cup group stage match against Uzbekistan, becoming the first male player to score in six different World Cups. The 41-year-old Portugal captain ended a 10-game goalless drought at major tournaments, surpassing Eusebio as Portugal's all-time World Cup goal leader with 10 goals. Ronaldo made his World Cup debut in 2006 and is now the second-oldest scorer in World Cup history behind Cameroon's Roger Milla. His performance came after criticism following a lackluster opening match against DR Congo.
