41-year-old Ronaldo crushed him! The Asian €50 million center-back conceded 5 goals, then broke down in tears; teammates hugged him, and B.Silva offered comfort.

In a World Cup Group K match that ended on June 24 Beijing time, Asian newcomers Uzbekistan lost 0-5 to Portugal, suffering a second consecutive defeat and nearing elimination.

After the game, Uzbekistan center-back Husanov wept uncontrollably, his eyes swollen and red as he used his shirt to dry his tears. His teammates came over to hug him, and his Manchester City teammate Bernardo Silva also gave him heartfelt encouragement and reassurance.

In this match, Husanov, valued at €50 million, failed to lead Uzbekistan's defense to a strong performance. They conceded three goals in the first half alone, allowing 41-year-old Ronaldo to score a brace. In the second half, Uzbekistan let in two more goals, resulting in a 0-5 rout. This was the second-largest defeat for an Asian team in this World Cup.

As the current highest-valued Asian player, Husanov recorded 4 interceptions, 3 clearances, and 1 goal-line clearance in this match, but the huge gap in overall team strength forced Uzbekistan to accept a comprehensive defeat.

If in the later match of this round, DR Congo beats Colombia, Uzbekistan will be mathematically eliminated from group advancement. In the final round, Portugal will face Colombia, while Uzbekistan will take on DR Congo.
