Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo ended a 10-match international goal drought with a first-half brace in a dominant 5-0 FIFA World Cup 2026 Group K victory over Uzbekistan in Houston. Under pressure after a subdued display in a 1-1 draw against DR Congo, Ronaldo delivered a vintage performance and celebrated his second goal with his iconic “Siuu” gesture. His opening strike made him the first player in FIFA World Cup history to score in six different editions of the tournament. The victory moved Portugal to four points from two matches, keeping Roberto Martinez’s side firmly in contention for a Round of 32 berth.
