Cristiano scores twice against Sweden as he becomes second player in history to score over 100 goals on the international stage.
The Juventus ace found the net with superb first-half free kick to become only the second male player to score 100 international goals as Portugal outclassed 10-man Sweden 2-0 in their Nations League A Group 3 game on Tuesday.
Portugal’s captain scored with a dipping set-piece effort just before halftime to join Ali Daei, who netted 109 times for Iran, on a century of goals.
The 35-year-old was a constant threat to Sweden’s back line in the early exchanges, hanging on the shoulder of the last defender before bursting forward to beat the offside trap, but Sweden goalkeeper Robin Olsen was equal to the task.
The former Real Madrid star had been stuck on 99 since November but finally broke the duck in trademark spectacular fashion.
Ronaldo is 14 goals ahead of Malaysia’s Mokhtar Dahari in third, with Lionel Messi the nearest high-profile player on 70 goals for Argentina.
