Ronaldo, who opened the scoring in the match against Uzbekistan in the second round of Group Stage JCH-2026, soon found the back of the net again to complete a brace. These goals not only contributed to Portugal's big win but also held historical significance for the 40-year-old striker.
The point is that Ronaldo became the first player to score in each of the six World Cups he has participated in during his career. He set a new record by putting his name on the scoresheet at the 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022, and 2026 World Cups.
In this regard, his closest pursuer is Argentina national team captain Lionel Messi, who has managed to score in five World Cups.
For reference, yesterday, June 23, the Uzbekistan national team faced Portugal in the second round of the World Cup group stage and suffered a 5-0 defeat. Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 6th minute of the match and scored his second goal in the 39th minute.
