Both the European Selecao and Ronaldo himself are facing immense pressure as top World Cup stars like Messi, Mbappe, and Haaland have been consistently scoring for their respective teams.

Ronaldo seized the opportunity in the penalty area to open the scoring, giving Portugal a 1-0 lead.

Ronaldo's ability to start at the age of 41 in a World Cup was doubted, and Uzbekistan was the perfect opponent for the number 7 star to prove himself and dispel any doubts.

And Ronaldo needed just over five minutes to get what he needed, scoring against the opposing goalkeeper from a cross by Cancelo.

Nunu Mendes unleashed a powerful free-kick to double Portugal's lead to 2-0.
