Cristiano Ronaldo nets record sixth World Cup goal as Brazil eyes possible victory celebration

Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score in six different FIFA World Cup tournaments, netting two goals in a 5-0 win over Uzbekistan. The result puts Portugal at the top of Group K alongside Colombia. In other Group L matches, England and Ghana drew 0‑0 in Boston, while Croatia edged Panama 1‑0 in Toronto. Colombia will face the Democratic Republic of Congo later on in Guadalajara.

Meanwhile, Brazil reflects on the iconic celebrations after its 2002 World Cup triumph, when the team returned to Brasília and was greeted by a massive crowd and President Fernando Henrique Cardoso. With the current tournament still ongoing, politicians speculate that a Brazilian victory would unlikely repeat the 2002 parade, especially amid the upcoming election year.
