VIDEO: Ronaldo ends goal drought with a thunderous strike!

Portugal wasted no time, scoring just six minutes into their World Cup 2026 Group K clash against Uzbekistan, mirroring João Neves' early opener against Congo. The goal came from a perfectly weighted cross by João Cancelo, finding Cristiano Ronaldo in the box. The Portuguese forward unleashed a powerful first-time shot, leaving the opposing goalkeeper with no chance. This strike ended Ronaldo's 10-game scoring drought in major tournament finals (World Cups or Euros).

Ronaldo's precise shot found the back of the net, confirming the 1-0 lead and providing the best possible start for the Portuguese national team in the match.
