It took 24 matches and nearly 2,000 minutes, but Ronaldo just did what no man has done before — and a Singaporean photographer was there to catch every second of it.
You love to see it. A dream moment for Cristiano Ronaldo and for the guy behind the lens, according to cbinews.tv.
Here’s the scene: metres above the pitch, Singaporean sports photographer Edmund Wong had his camera locked on Ronaldo. Then it happened. The Portuguese forward finally netted his first goal of the 2026 World Cup, sprinted to his teammates, and boom — history made.
Ronaldo’s now the first man ever to score in six different World Cups. 24 matches. Almost 2,000 minutes. Worth the wait, yeah?
Wong’s photo is a cracker. You’ve got Ronaldo being mobbed by his teammates, that massive grin lighting up against Portugal’s red kit — you know, the one that stands for courage and struggle. It’s not just a celebration, it’s a statement.
“It tells a great story,” Wong told cbinews.tv. The FIFA-accredited photographer reckons the shot captures more than a goal. “It shows the amount of support that he has from his teammates and their belief.”
And the timing? Perfect. The 41-year-old’s had critics questioning his spot on the Portugal squad. Meanwhile, rivals were already making noise — Messi bagged a hat-trick for Argentina against Algeria last week, while Portugal only managed a 1-1 draw with DR Congo.
But Ronaldo answered with two goals against Uzbekistan. And Wong’s photo? Ronaldo himself shared it on Instagram on 25 June. No tag for Wong — “that’s common for a lot of athletes,” he says — but it’s already racked up over eight million likes.
Wong isn’t bothered. “(Ronaldo using the photo) shows that he liked it and it meant something to him,” he said. “I feel honoured and grateful.”
For Wong, this is full circle stuff. He fell in love with football watching the 2002 World Cup as a kid. Now he’s snapping history at the 2026 edition.
