The first round of the group F group stage of the first phase of the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup European Qualifiers started, with Armenia taking on the European champion Portugal at home. After the game, Portugal, who played away, scored a great start with captain Ronaldo's double hit, Felix's two goals, and Cancelo's score, and Portugal won 5-0 away, making a good start.

The first away match between the World Cup, Armenia, ranked only 105th in the world, and Portugal, which has the advantage in strength, takes the lead! Just 10 minutes into the game, Cancelo made a cross, Felix headed the ball and scored, and Portugal led Armenia 1-0 away.

This game was Portugal's first record, which was Felix's first goal in the World Cup for the Portuguese national team, and it was also his double-digit goal score in the national team. In the 21st minute of the game, Pedro Neto made a cross, Ronaldo scored a goal, and Portugal led Armenia 2-0. With this goal, Ronaldo surpassed Messi, who had just tied his World Cup qualifiers, again!

Currently, Ronaldo scored 37 goals in the World Cup, ranking second in history, while Messi ranked third with 36 goals. In addition, this is also the first time in the past four years that Ronaldo has scored four consecutive goals in the national team. It is also the first time that Ronaldo has scored goals in his national team for 23 consecutive years!

In the 32nd minute, Cancelo scored and Portugal continued to expand the score, 3-0! At the beginning of the second half, Portugal's goal performance continued. In the 46th minute, Ronaldo scored a world wave outside the penalty area! Portugal rewrites the score again, 4-0. It is worth mentioning that Ronaldo, who is already 40 years old, continues to write history. His national career goals have reached 140 goals, and 38 goals have been recorded in the World Cup qualifiers, which is only 1 goal away from the first place in the World Cup history scorer list!

What's even more terrifying is that Ronaldo scored as many goals throughout his career as 942 goals! In the 61st minute, Felix scored again and scored twice, which was his first time in a single game in the national team. In this game, Portugal finally defeated Armenia with a big score of 5-0.
