2026 FIFA WC: Ronaldo Becomes First Player To Score In Six Editions
FIFA World Cup: Cristiano Ronaldo etched his name in the history books by becoming the first footballer to score in six different FIFA World Cup editions after finding the net in Portugal's Group K clash against Uzbekistan at the Houston Stadium in Houston on Tuesday.
The 41-year-old Portugal captain reached the landmark just six minutes into the contest, putting his side ahead with a trademark close-range finish. The goal came after Joao Cancelo surged down the right wing and delivered a low pass into the box, which Ronaldo converted first time from inside the six-yard area.
The strike marked another remarkable chapter in Ronaldo's extraordinary international career. Having made his World Cup debut in Germany in 2006 as a 21-year-old, he has now scored in every tournament he has featured in - 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022, and 2026.
