Ronaldo makes World Cup history with goals in six editions
Cristiano Ronaldo scored in Portugal’s match against Uzbekistan at the 2026 World Cup, finding the net in the 7th minute after a disappointing opening game against Congo. The goal gave him a landmark achievement and a memorable finish, according to the report.
At 41, Ronaldo became the first player in World Cup history to score in six different editions of the tournament, spanning from 2006 to 2026. The closest player to that mark is Lionel Messi, who has scored in five World Cups, missing out in 2010.
The Portuguese forward also remains the all-time leading scorer in men’s international football, with 144 goals in 229 appearances for Portugal. Across his World Cup career, he has now scored nine goals in total. The article notes that he reached the milestone despite the underwhelming first match of Portugal’s tournament.
