Ronaldo, who had already opened the scoring in the 6th minute, added a brilliant second goal to officially crown himself as Portugal’s undisputed all-time top scorer in World Cup history.

With this brace, the 41-year-old icon raised his historic World Cup tally to 10 goals in 24 matches, beautifully distributed across an unprecedented six different editions.

Breaking a Historic Record: The previous record held by the legendary Eusébio—who scored 9 goals during the 1966 tournament—had stood firm for decades until “El Bicho” finally shattered it with his masterclass against Uzbekistan.

We leave you with Ronaldo’s historic milestone goal, which now leaves him just 8 goals behind the World Cup’s all-time top scorer, Lionel Messi.
