The Portuguese captain entered Tuesday's match under considerable pressure. In their World Cup opener, his team only managed a 1-1 draw against Congo, and the star striker's performance hadn't exactly dazzled.

However, in his second appearance, Cristiano Ronaldo responded in the best possible way. He opened the scoring in just the 6th minute after a pass from João Cancelo, and before halftime, he beat the Uzbekistan goalkeeper a second time, assisted by Bruno Fernandes.

These goals etched his name into history, making him the first footballer to score in six different World Cups. His incredible streak began in 2006, followed by goals in 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022. Now, he's added two more strikes in the tournament hosted across the USA, Mexico, and Canada.

After the final whistle, much was made of his words to the camera, as he shouted: "I'm back!" Fans also noticed a particular detail on the legendary forward's boots: they bore the names of his five children.
