Cristiano Ronaldo created football history by becoming the first player to score in six different FIFA World Cups as Portugal defeated Uzbekistan 5-0 in Houston. The 41-year-old opened the scoring in the sixth minute and added a second goal before halftime. His latest goals came in his sixth World Cup appearance, spanning tournaments from 2006 to 2026. Ronaldo now stands alone in achieving the milestone, ahead of Lionel Messi, who has played in six World Cups but did not score in every edition. Portugal secured their first win of the tournament, with Nuno Mendes, Joao Felix and Rafael Leao also finding the net. (PC: X)
