Ronaldo scores 2 as Portugal rout Uzbekistan 5-0 at World Cup
What's new: The 41-year-old became the first player to score in six World Cups after a scoreless opener against Congo.
Cristiano Ronaldo answered questions about his form with two first-half goals as Portugal beat Uzbekistan 5-0 in a World Cup Group K match in Houston on Tuesday. Ronaldo opened the scoring in the sixth minute with a right-footed volley from inside the box, then added another in the 39th after a pass from Bruno Fernandes. Nuno Mendes also scored as Portugal rebounded from a 1-1 draw with the Democratic Republic of Congo in its opener. The win restored momentum for Portugal and gave Ronaldo a milestone: at 41, he became the first player, male or female, to score in six World Cups.
