Portugal will aim to get its 2026 FIFA World Cup back on track when it faces Uzbekistan Tuesday at NRG Stadium in Houston.
Cristiano Ronaldo cut a frustrated figure in his side's opening draw with DR Congo, and a huge upturn in performance is needed on matchday two, both from the talismanic forward and the wider team.
Uzbekistan, meanwhile, fell to Colombia by a 3-1 score in its first match and is therefore in need of a positive result here to keep its hopes of a knockout-stage place very much alive.

Prematch
8 a.m. - It's game two today for Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal. The question on the lips of most fans is not simply what the result will be, but whether the Selecao and their greatest ever player can actually still work together effectively. That opening draw with DR Congo certainly didn't paint a rosy picture.
