The Portugal captain set this unique record by scoring against Uzbekistan. He became the first player to score in six World Cups.
One of the greatest footballers of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo, has added another golden chapter to his illustrious career.
He created history by scoring against Uzbekistan in the FIFA World Cup 2026. He has become the first footballer in the world to score in six different World Cup editions.
The 41-year-old Portugal captain achieved this feat in the 'Group-K' match played at Houston Stadium.
Just six minutes into the match, Ronaldo scored in his signature style to give his team the lead and etch his name in the record books.
The goal came from a brilliant pass by João Cancelo. Cancelo passed the ball into the box from the right wing, which Ronaldo converted into a goal without any mistake.
This moment became another memorable highlight of his amazing international career.
Ronaldo's World Cup journey began in 2006 in Germany when he was 21 years old.
From then until today, he has managed to score in every World Cup he has played in (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022, and 2026).
He scored one goal in 2006, and also had one goal each to his name in 2010 and 2014.
His most successful World Cup was in Russia in 2018, where he scored four goals. After that, he also scored one goal in Qatar in 2022.
He was criticized for his poor performance in the opening match against DR Congo, but he has given a fitting reply to everyone with this record-breaking goal.
Ronaldo's achievement comes just one day after his rival Lionel Messi set a record.
Messi had become the player with the most goals in World Cup history by scoring his 18th goal against Austria.
Despite so many records, Ronaldo is still searching for his first goal in a World Cup knockout match.
He has never played in a World Cup final. However, this time, with a 48-team tournament, there are high hopes for Portugal.
Ronaldo now has a total of nine goals in the World Cup. Fans hope that he will add many more achievements to his brilliant career in this tournament and will try to make Portugal the world champion.
