Three records. One miss that will be criticised for weeks. June 24 opened with Cristiano Ronaldo becoming the first man in history to score in six different World Cup editions, and closed with Colombia as the sole leader of Group K. In between: a 200th cap for Luka Modri\u0107, a goalkeeper who made seven saves and still ended up on the losing side, and Ghana holding England to a draw.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Portugal_5-0_Uzbekistan_%E2%80%94_Houston_10_30_PM_IST_Jun_23\"><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/portugal\/portugal-squad\">Portugal<\/a> 5-0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/uzbekistan\/uzbekistan-squad\">Uzbekistan<\/a> \u2014 Houston, 10:30 PM IST (Jun 23)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cristiano Ronaldo turned to the camera at full-time and said two words: &#8220;I&#8217;m back.&#8221; He had just scored twice in a 5-0 demolition that silenced every critic who had questioned him after Portugal&#8217;s 1-1 draw with DR Congo. His sixth-minute opener \u2014 a near-post finish from a Jo\u00e3o Cancelo cross \u2014 broke his major tournament drought. His second in the 39th minute, slotting a Bruno Fernandes through-ball past the keeper, was his 10th World Cup goal, surpassing Eus\u00e9bio as Portugal&#8217;s all-time leading scorer at the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most remarkably: that first goal made Ronaldo the first footballer in history to score in six different World Cup editions. 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022, 2026. Twenty years of scoring at the highest level. Nuno Mendes added a free-kick beauty in the 17th minute, an Uzbekistan own goal made it 4-0, and substitute Rafael Le\u00e3o rounded off the scoring with a composed finish in the 87th minute. Ronaldo was denied a hat-trick by a stunning double save and a goal-line clearance in the 75th minute \u2014 but he was not complaining. Neither was Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Watch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/match-clips\/0-6-4z5974253\/por-vs-uzb-quickfire-highlights-fifa-world-cup-2026\/0-1-6z5990383\">Portugal vs Uzbekistan Match Highlight<\/a> Free, Only on ZEE5.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"England_0-0_Ghana_%E2%80%94_Boston_1_30_AM_IST\"><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/england\/england-squad\">England<\/a> 0-0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/ghana\/ghana-squad\">Ghana <\/a>\u2014 Boston, 1:30 AM IST<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">England had 72% of the ball and failed to score. Thomas Tuchel&#8217;s side dominated possession against a Ghana squad who defended with discipline and refused to give England the spaces they needed. The first half produced no shots on target from either side \u2014 a first for this FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122. Anthony Gordon registered England&#8217;s first effort in the 57th minute; it was comfortably held. Saka and teenager Nico O&#8217;Reilly came on in the 65th minute to inject urgency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 87th minute, O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s thumping header cannoned off the crossbar from a Reece James cross. The ball fell to Harry Kane. Seven yards. Open goal. He blazed it over the bar. Marc Gu\u00e9hi&#8217;s header was then cleared off the line in the frantic finale. The whistle went. Two points dropped. The Kane miss will be discussed for days. England&#8217;s recurring inability to break down a deep defensive block remains the question nobody has answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Watch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/match-clips\/0-6-4z5974253\/eng-vs-gha-quickfire-highlights-fifa-world-cup-2026\/0-1-6z5990396\">England vs Ghana Match Highlight<\/a> Free, Only On ZEE5.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Catch all the FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122 action live on <\/strong><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/myaccount\/subscription?plan-ref=0-11-7467&amp;asset-ref=0-6-4z5914493&amp;visibility=SELECTED&amp;context=FIFA\"><strong><em>ZEE<\/em>5 <em>FIFA Subscription<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em><strong> with the Rs. 799 quarterly plan or the Rs. 1,699 annual plan.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Croatia_1-0_Panama_%E2%80%94_Toronto_4_30_AM_IST\"><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/croatia\/croatia-squad\">Croatia<\/a> 1-0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup\/2026\/0-6-4z5974253\/0-2-5z5974716\/teams\/panama\/panama-squad\">Panama<\/a> \u2014 Toronto, 4:30 AM IST<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luka Modri\u0107 walked out at BMO Field for his 200th international appearance. Croatia needed him. A second consecutive defeat would have left them with no realistic path to the knockout rounds, and Panama were stubborn. Jos\u00e9 Luis Rodr\u00edguez&#8217;s header in the 23rd minute drew a breathtaking fingertip save from Dominik Livakovi\u0107 that deflected the ball onto the crossbar. Zlatko Dali\u0107 made a double change at half-time, bringing on Kramari\u0107 and Ante Budimir, and the adjustment paid off within nine minutes: Budimir tapped in a Stani\u0161i\u0107 cross at the far post.

Colombia registered nine shots on target. Mpasi stopped seven. The ninth \u2014 Mu\u00f1oz in the 76th \u2014 found the net.

His &#8220;I&#8217;m back&#8221; to the camera was not bravado; it was a statement of fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">England&#8217;s draw is the other conversation. The Kane miss will dominate, but the deeper problem is the system \u2014 how do England break down a team that refuses to come out?
