Taskin Ahmed Riyad, Editor || Cristiano Ronaldo has added another remarkable chapter to his legendary career. The Portuguese superstar has now become Portugal’s outright top scorer in FIFA World Cup history.Ronaldo achieved the milestone by scoring twice against Uzbekistan in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, surpassing Portuguese football icon Eusébio. Until now, Eusébio had held the record with nine goals, all scored during the 1966 World Cup.Ronaldo equaled the record with his first goal of the match before breaking it in the 39th minute. Receiving a pass from Bruno Fernandes, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner produced a clinical finish to score his second goal and take his World Cup tally for Portugal to 10, setting a new national record.Ronaldo’s World Cup scoring journey began in 2006 when he netted his first goal in the tournament against Iran in Germany. He later scored against North Korea in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Ghana in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and famously recorded a hat-trick against Spain during the 2018 World Cup in Russia.At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo made history by scoring against Ghana, becoming the first player ever to score in five different World Cup tournaments. With his goals against Uzbekistan in the 2026 edition, he has further extended that remarkable achievement.With a total of 10 World Cup goals for Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo now stands alone as the nation’s highest-scoring player in World Cup history.
