Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score in six different World Cup tournaments on Tuesday, getting a goal in the sixth minute of Portugal’s match against Uzbekistan.
A Historic Achievement
The 41-year-old Ronaldo made history when João Cancelo crossed it to him and he shot with his right foot to make it 1-0. He ran toward the bench and celebrated with his teammates after the score.
Ronaldo’s goal comes after he was criticized for failing to score in Portugal’s 1-1 draw against Congo in the team’s opening match. Ronaldo and Argentina captain Lionel Messi became the only men in history to play in six World Cup tournaments this year.
