BEIJING, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score at six World Cups while Colombia secured a place in the tournament's knockout stage on Tuesday. In Houston, Ronaldo scored two first-half goals as Portugal trounced Uzbekistan 5-0. Nuno Mendes and Rafael Leao were also on target while Abduvohid Nematov netted an own goal in the Group K match. In Toronto, substitute Ante Budimir scored in the second half as Croatia stayed alive with a 1-0 win over Panama. Budimir, who replaced Petar Musa at halftime, broke the deadlock by tapping in at the far post following a Josip Stanisic run and cross from the right byline. Panama had several chances to equalize but was frustrated by goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic and some wasteful finishing. In Boston, England dominated and had a series of late scoring chances but was held to a goalless draw by Ghana. In Guadalajara, Daniel Munoz struck his second goal in as many games as Colombia clinched a spot in the round of 32 with a 1-0 win over DR Congo.
