GolVolt Recap

Portugal ruthlessly dismantled Uzbekistan 5-0 in Houston to seize control of Group K. The contest was dead by halftime. Cristiano Ronaldo ignited the onslaught in the sixth minute and grabbed his second on 39 minutes, sandwiching a 17th-minute Nuno Mendes strike. Uzbekistan offered zero resistance, their misery compounded by Odildzhon Khamrobekov’s early yellow card and an Abduvokhid Nematov own goal on the hour. Rafael Leão buried the fifth in the 87th minute. Aside from a 68th-minute Renato Veiga booking, Portugal dictated every second of this one-sided affair.
