Cristiano Ronaldo Makes History as First Player to Score at Six Different World Cup Tournaments

Cristiano Ronaldo has made history by becoming the first player to score at six different World Cup tournaments, achieving this feat with the opener against Uzbekistan. The Portugal legend had faced criticism for his performance in the team's World Cup opener against DR Congo, but he silenced his critics with a goal just six minutes into the match against Uzbekistan. Ronaldo's first-time finish was set up by a ball from Joao Cancelo, and he went on to score a second goal, taking his World Cup tally to 10 and surpassing Eusebio's record. This brings his total international goals to 145 in 230 appearances, a record in men's international football. The 2026 World Cup, which features 48 national teams competing at 16 stadiums in the US, Canada, and Mexico, will run until July 19th.
