Portugal5–0Uzbekistan

Portugal put on a show in Houston. Ronaldo was at it inside six minutes — a volley from a João Cancelo cross into the bottom right corner. Nuno Mendes curled in a free kick in the 17th, bottom left, and Ronaldo struck again before the break, latching onto a Bruno Fernandes through ball on the counter for 3-0 at half time. Game over before the second half even started. What made the second half interesting was Uzbekistan's keeper Nematov, who actually played brilliantly — denying Ronaldo three times and stopping João Félix from close range too. Then in the 60th he saved a Félix effort only to turn the rebound into his own net. As cruel as own goals get. Leão, barely four minutes off the bench, finished it with a top-corner strike in the 87th to make it five. Portugal cruise into matchday three with four points. Uzbekistan have none.
