Cristiano Ronaldo ends his goal drought as rampant Portugal outclass Uzbekistan

Cristiano Ronaldo ended a drought of 10 major tournament games without a goal by scoring twice against Uzbekistan, making him the first player to score in six FIFA World Cup editions. Portugal ran out comfortable winners by a five-goal margin, with the result described as a 'non-contest' given Uzbekistan's inability to handle opposition of Portugal's quality. The win also reignited discussion of Ronaldo's golden boot ambitions alongside rival Lionel Messi.
