Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals in Portugal's 5-0 victory against Uzbekistan on June 24, marking his return to form after ten matches without a goal in major tournaments. The win comes after Portugal's earlier draw with DR Congo, which raised questions about Ronaldo's place in the lineup. England struggled to break down Ghana's defense in a match that ended in a disappointing stalemate, with questionable refereeing decisions playing a role in the outcome. Meanwhile, Ante Budimir's late goal secured a win for Croatia over Panama, keeping their hopes alive in the tournament. Colombia also advanced to the knockout stage with a narrow win over DR Congo, thanks to Daniel Munoz's lone goal.
