Heavily criticized after his disappointing performance against DR Congo (1-1) last Wednesday, Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a resounding answer to his critics.

The former Real Madrid star opened the scoring against Uzbekistan (1-0, ongoing) this Tuesday at the 2026 World Cup. With this goal, the Portuguese legend became the first player in history to score in six different World Cup tournaments.
