Commentary

The full-time whistle goes in Houston, and Portugal have absolutely battered Uzbekistan in a 5-0 rout. Ronaldo was the catalyst, scoring twice in the first half to set the tone for the absolute easiest of wins. There was a lot of noise about his performance in the DR Congo draw, but he justified his selection here. 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 a memorable moment, and Portugal would press home the first-half advantage when Ronaldo coolly slotted in from Fernandes' beautiful throughball. Nematov's luckless own goal stretched Portugal's lead on the hour, and substitute Leao smashed one in the top-left corner late on to round out the win. Portugal rebounded well from that MD1 disappointment and now can 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 just further emphasises how in control of this game they were, it was a cakewalk at times. Thanks for joining us for this one folks, until next time!

FULL-TIME: PORTUGAL 5-0 UZBEKISTAN

90'+5'

OH WAS THAT THE MOMENT? Ah, no the offside flag was up anyway. It looked like Ronaldo was going to score his hat-trick on the stretch, but it wouldn't have counted anyway.

90'+4'

Close! Trincao now races onto a pass into the centre of the area, and his first-time shot just clears the right-hand post.

And Shukurov also takes a seat with Esanov on in his place.

Cannavaro makes a couple of late changes as Karimov is replaced first by Jiyanov.
