Portugal's World Cup victory sparks celebrations in Lisbon

Thousands of Portuguese supporters gathered in central Lisbon on Tuesday to watch Portugal's dominant 5-0 World Cup victory over Uzbekistan.

Fans erupted in celebration as Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, with chants of his name echoing through the city's fan zone. The goals secured the 41-year-old's place in football history as the first player to score in six different World Cup tournaments.

The performance came after criticism of Ronaldo following Portugal's opening draw with DR Congo. Supporters said the veteran forward had answered his critics in the best possible way, helping lead Portugal to a convincing win and earning man-of-the-match honours.
