Portugal faced Uzbekistan in a highly anticipated World Cup 2026 match, where Cristiano Ronaldo stole the spotlight by scoring two goals in the first half. This performance marked a historic moment, as Ronaldo became the first player to score in six different World Cups. Fans in Lisbon celebrated wildly following the match, which saw Portugal thrash Uzbekistan. However, Uzbekistan had a goal disallowed after a VAR review due to a foul in the build-up. The match took place in a sold-out Houston stadium, with both teams holding fan walks ahead of the event.
