世界杯：C罗梅开二度破纪录，葡萄牙五比零大胜乌兹别克斯坦

Today let's talk about a very special World Cup match.

This match was Portugal against Uzbekistan.

First, the result: Portugal won big, five-nil.

What made this match special is all about one person.

That person is Ronaldo.

Ronaldo is one of the most famous footballers in the world.

In China, almost everyone who watches football knows him.

He has played for many, many years and is over forty this year.

For a footballer, that age is already very old.

Yet Ronaldo is still very good at scoring.

So many people watched this match just to see Ronaldo.

And Ronaldo didn't let everyone down.

Only a few minutes in, Ronaldo scored the first goal.

That goal came especially early, the match had just started.

One-nil, Portugal led very early.

Seeing Ronaldo score, the whole crowd roared with excitement.

After that goal, Portugal played even more smoothly.

Before long, Portugal scored another goal.

Two-nil, Portugal stretched the lead.

Later, Ronaldo scored yet another goal.

Three-nil, that was his second goal of the day.

When a player scores two goals in one match, in Chinese it's called "梅开二度" (a brace).

It's a very common expression, used to praise a player who scores twice.

Ronaldo's brace this time sent the whole crowd into a frenzy.

After that, Portugal scored two more goals, making it five-nil.

This shows Portugal don't rely on Ronaldo alone; their whole team is strong.

In the end, the match finished five-nil, a big win for Portugal.

But the most memorable thing about this match wasn't just the score.

It was that Ronaldo set a new record in this match.

Ronaldo has played in many World Cups, and scored in every one.

This time, it's already his sixth consecutive World Cup with a goal.

That is, he became the first player to score at six different World Cups.

Before him, no one had ever done this.

It's a truly remarkable record.

Keep in mind, the World Cup happens only once every four years.

Six World Cups together is more than twenty years.

Scoring at every one over twenty-odd years is so hard.

Many players may never play in that many World Cups in their whole lives.

Even more remarkable, Ronaldo is over forty this year.

In football, at this age, most players retired long ago.

Yet Ronaldo not only still plays, he keeps scoring.

To be this good at this age, the whole world admires him.

After the match, many people celebrated for Ronaldo.

Some said Ronaldo seems never to age, still scoring without stop.

Others said it's truly lucky to see Ronaldo break a record live.

Others said young players should learn from Ronaldo's effort and persistence.

Online, news and photos of Ronaldo were everywhere.

Many Chinese fans stayed up late to watch this match and were happy for him.

Of course, the losing Uzbekistan need not be too sad either.

What they faced was one of the world's strong teams, and a star like Ronaldo.

For them, just standing on the World Cup stage is itself an honour.

Though they lost, they kept fighting and didn't give up.

Actually, this is what makes football so good to watch.

A great player can play for many, many years, always bringing surprises.

Okay, that's the match between Portugal and Uzbekistan.

Portugal won five-nil, Ronaldo scored a brace and broke a record too.

He became the first person to score at six different World Cups.

It really was an unforgettable night.

Thanks for listening, see you next time.
