Portugal delivered a strong first-half performance to take a commanding 3–0 lead over Uzbekistan at halftime in their Group K clash at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Portuguese side started the match at a high tempo and quickly imposed its rhythm. Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring early before adding a second goal before the break, confirming Portugal’s dominance in attack.
Nuno Mendes also got on the scoresheet after a well-worked set-piece move, giving Roberto Martinez’s men a comfortable advantage before heading into the dressing room.
Uzbekistan tried to respond and showed moments of determination but struggled to contain Portugal’s attacking quality and intensity.
With this result at halftime, Portugal is moving closer to securing an important victory after its opening draw against DR Congo.
