Portugal bounced back strongly at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a commanding 5–0 victory over Uzbekistan in the second round of Group K matches.

The Portuguese side moved to four points at the top of the group on a provisional basis, pending the outcome of the match between Colombia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Cristiano Ronaldo etched his name into Portuguese football history by scoring his 10th World Cup goal, becoming Portugal’s all-time leading scorer in the tournament.

The victory also marked Portugal’s third-largest win in World Cup history, while Uzbekistan was eliminated after suffering its second consecutive defeat.
