Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first player in World Cup history to score in six editions of the tournament after the Portugal captain found the net against Uzbekistan.
Ronaldo came under fire following a drab performance against DR Congo in Portugal’s opening match but it took him less than six minutes to send his team ahead in the Group K encounter at the Houston Stadium. Joao Cancelo set up the goal with a fine run down the right flank before squaring a low cross into the penalty area. Ever the poacher, Ronaldo hooked a first time shot towards goal from six yards out and slotted in just inside the near post to send his team ahead.
