Cristiano Ronaldo sets World Cup record as Portugal eyes Group K win over Colombia

Cristiano Ronaldo six World Cups Portugal Uzbekistan Group K

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace against Uzbekistan, helping Portugal to a 5‑0 victory and becoming the first player to net a goal in six consecutive World Cup tournaments. After the match he was honoured at training by Nike, which presented him with the gold‑coloured “Gold Scorpion” Mercurial Superfly 11 boots.

The win moved Portugal to four points in Group K, putting them in contention to finish ahead of Colombia. The decisive Group K clash will be played on 28 June 2026 at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, with kickoff at 01:30 UTC (local time 01:30 am). The match will be shown on M6 and beIN Sports.

In the Uzbekistan game left‑back Nuno Mendes delivered a standout performance, earning man‑of‑the‑match honors and sparking speculation about his chances for the 2026 Ballon d’Or, although a defender winning the award would be unprecedented.
