Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, has become the first footballer to score in six different World Cups.
Ronaldo achieved the feat when he opened the scoring against Uzbekistan at the ongoing tournament in North America.
The 41-year-old had come under criticisms from fans and pundits, following their opening 0-0 draw with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
But Ronaldo registered his first goal at this World Cup, blasting home an effort within the first five minutes.
Ahead of the game, Ronaldo had gone four straight matches for Portugal without a goal and 10 straight games without a goal at major tournaments.
His last goal at a major tournament came in Portugal’s opener at Qatar 2022.
