Portugal 5-0 Uzbekistan
Quote:
First Half Score 3-0 and 2 additional goals in the second half made Uzbex devastated and proved that the election was too fierce for mediocre teams
Highlights This is concise.
6th minute
Quote:
Cristiano Ronaldo João Cancelo’s cross, CR7 completes the first touch at the near post. Became the first player to score in 6 different World Cups
17th Minute
Quote:
Nuno Mendes- Free kick feint. Everyone thought Ronaldo was the one who kicked, but Mendes was the one who hit the goal
39th minute
Quote:
Cristiano Ronaldo again – Beautiful pass from Bruno Fernandes, CR7 runs behind the defender + calm finishing
Quote:
Second half – Abduvohid Nematov’s Own Goal – Uzbekistan’s goalkeeper made a blunder after Bruno Fernandes’ corner
Quote:
*87′ – Rafael Leão* – Hard shot into the top corner. Semedo passes but is blocked by Ronaldo, the ball falls to Leão
*Ronaldo comeback* – After being ridiculed because of 10 goalless matches in a major tournament, CR7 immediately braced. He shouted “I’m back, I’m back” at the camera after the match. 145th goal for Portugal + his 10th goal in the World Cup
*Free kick Mendes trick* – This is really funny, bro. Ronaldo just stood still in front of the ball as if he was going to kick it, but Mendes ran + kicked low. Uzbekistan fooled everyone
*Uzbekistan’s goal disallowed by VAR* – 29th minute Azizjon Ganiev scored a beautiful goal, but it was disallowed because of a foul on Cancelo during the build-up. If you go in, it might be a different story.
*Portugal dominant* – Ball possession 66% vs 34%. 17 vs 7 shots. Really getting revenge after drawing 1-1 against Congo on matchday 1.
*Ronaldo substituted 64′ minute* – Came out to a standing ovation, replaced by Gonçalo Ramos. Too bad it wasn’t a hat trick, in the 90+ minute he was already offside
