Cristiano Ronaldo World Cup Top Goalscorer Odds: Portugal talisman 16/1 for Golden Boot after brace against Uzbekistan
Check out the latest odds for Cristiano Ronaldo to be crowned World Cup top goalscorer after he got off the mark in Portugal's win over Uzbekistan on Tuesday.
After coming under fire in Portugal's drab 1-1 draw with DR Congo in their World Cup opener last week, Ronaldo produced an emphatic response at the Houston Stadium.
Roberto Martinez once again entrusted his captain with a place in the starting XI and Ronaldo repaid that faith by opening the scoring after just six minutes, firing home after getting on the end of a cross from Joao Cancelo inside the box.
Just minutes later he was again at the centre of Portugal's attacking thrust, serving as an effective decoy whilst standing over a free-kick that was ultimately converted by Nuno Mendes.
In the 39th minute Ronaldo netted for a second time, showcasing that he can still turn up the heat when needed after latching onto a through ball from Bruno Fernandes before slotting his effort beyond Abduvohid Nematov in the Uzbekistan goal.
In doing so he surpassed Eusebio as the country's top goalscorer at the World Cup finals, and became the first player ever to net in six different tournaments since making his debut in Germany two decades ago.
At 41 years, four months and 18 days old, Ronaldo surpassed his compatriot and former team-mate Pepe as the second-oldest goalscorer in World Cup history, with the record held by Roger Milla who was 42 when he netted against Russia in 1994.
He had a number of chances to claim a second career World Cup hat-trick but he was ultimately unable to add to his tally as Portugal romped to a 5-0 win.
Of all the accolades Ronaldo has won during his career the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has never claimed a World Cup Golden Boot, coming closest in 2018 when Harry Kane topped the scoring charts.
The 2026 World Cup will surely prove his swansong at international level, but Ronaldo has the ability to make history as Portugal look to go all the way in North America.
