FULL-TIME!

Portugal absolutely batter Uzbekistan in a 5-0 rout in Houston.

Ronaldo was the catalyst, scoring twice in the first half to set the tone for an easy win.

The 41-year-old slid home the opener after just six minutes, before Mendes' clever free kick doubled the lead.

G'aniev smashed in a wondergoal for Uzbekistan, only for a foul in the build-up to deny him.

Ronaldo then coolly slotted in from Fernandes' beautiful throughball to extend Portugal's first-half advantage.

Nematov's unlucky own goal stretched Portugal's lead on the hour, and substitute Leao smashed one into the top-left corner late on to round out the win.

Portugal rebounded well from their MD1 disappointment and now look forward to their final group-stage game with Colombia, while Uzbekistan face DR Congo in their last pool game.

Portugal's superior xG of 2.41 to 0.25 further emphasizes their control.

Thanks for joining us!

Full-Time

FULL-TIME!

Portugal dominates Uzbekistan with a 5-0 shutout at Houston Stadium.

OH, WAS THAT THE MOMENT?!

Ronaldo looked set to complete his hat-trick, but the offside flag was already up.

It wouldn't have counted anyway.

Close!

Trincao races onto a pass in the center of the area, and his first-time shot just clears the right post.

SUB: Esanov replaces Shukurov.

SUBS: Cannavaro makes a couple of late changes, with Jiyanov replacing Karimov.

Five minutes of additional time will be played.

There was a quick check after that goal, though it wasn't entirely clear what for.

Perhaps they were just checking Semedo was onside in the build-up.

GOAL!

LEAO GETS ON THE SCORESHEET!

Semedo slips in down the right, and his pass, intended for Ronaldo, deflects perfectly into Leao's path.

He hammers it into the top-left corner!

Portugal now lead Uzbekistan 5-0!

Vitinha has delivered 21 line-breaking passes in this game, the most by a Portugal player on record in a World Cup game since 2010.

Portugal's corner, won just before the sub, was a dud.

Leao nearly makes an immediate impact, breaking into the box, but he's tackled just as he winds up to shoot.

Fernandes then unleashes a strong 25-yard drive that Nematov pushes clear.
