Ronaldo Becomes First Player to Score in Six World Cups

Cristiano Ronaldo made history on June 23 in Houston by netting in his sixth consecutive World Cup. The Portugal captain opened the scoring in just the sixth minute against Uzbekistan before adding a second in the 39th. At 41 years and 138 days old, Ronaldo is now the second-oldest World Cup scorer, only behind Roger Milla. His goals span tournaments in 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2026, taking his international tally to 144. Portugal’s convincing win was bolstered by strikes from Nuno Mendes and Rafael Leão, plus an own goal. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner now chases his first World Cup trophy after lifting the European Championship in 2016.
