England and Ghana draw goalless in the World Cup

Portugal crushes Uzbekistan with a double from Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo finally appeared in the 2026 World Cup and did so with authority. He scored two goals to lead Portugal in a 5-0 rout of Uzbekistan, played at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. The match corresponded to Group K.

The first goal came in the 6th minute. With that score, Ronaldo became the first footballer in history to score in six consecutive World Cups. A record that expands his legend.

Portugal gave no truce. Nuno Mendes increased the lead, and then Cristiano himself scored his double. An own goal from Abduvohid Nematov and the final goal from Rafael Leao sealed the win.

Uzbekistan tried to react. He brought the score closer with a goal that was disallowed due to a previous foul in midfield. The Portuguese defense kept the score at zero.

With this result, Portugal is close to qualifying for the next round. He will seek to confirm his ticket next Saturday against Colombia in Miami.

Defining duel in Group K

Colombia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo meet tonight at the Guadalajara Stadium, with their sights set on the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup. The match corresponds to Matchday 2 of Group K and starts at 8:00 p.m.

Los Cafeteros arrive with confidence after beating Uzbekistan 3-1 in their debut. Now they are looking to secure their place in the next round. On the African side, the Leopards are coming off a historic draw against Portugal, their first point in the history of the tournament.

Congo had only participated in Germany 1974, when it was Zaire. On that occasion they lost all three games without scoring a goal and conceded 14. Today they dream of a memorable performance.

Portugal’s 5-0 win over Uzbekistan forces both teams to add three if they want to fight for first place in the group. The goal difference is tight, but second place is also at stake.

The match will be broadcast on Channel 5, Azteca 7, TUDN and ViX Premium. Colombia and Congo dispute this Tuesday, June 23, a key step towards the next instance.

The Mexican National Team has already secured its place in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup. With two victories against South Africa and South Korea, Javier Aguirre’s team arrives relaxed for the duel against the Czech Republic.

Raúl Rangel has earned the title in goal. His performance against South Korea confirmed him as the main goalkeeper. However, in the locker room they do not see it as a bad thing that Guillermo Ochoa receives minutes.

“It would be something extraordinary, something great for Memo. For me he is a legend of Mexican soccer and the National Team. He is a player who has always been available,” declared Alexis Vega.

The Toluca Red Devils forward supported the possibility of the experienced goalkeeper playing. “The Vasco will make the decision and whoever it is will do it in the best way,” he added.

Vega also pointed out that everyone is prepared: “We still don’t know how the team is going to end up, but I think everyone is ready for an opportunity.”

Ochoa has not missed a World Cup since Germany 2006, but he has only added minutes in three editions: Brazil 2014, Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022. Against the Czech Republic it could be his fourth participation if Aguirre decides.

Curiously, in South Africa 2010 it was ‘Vasco’ himself who benched Ochoa to give the then experienced Óscar ‘Conejo’ Pérez the title. History now repeats itself with a similar context: Mexico already classified and a veteran goalkeeper looking for minutes.
