The energetic criatiano

Ronaldo’s big moment came in the 89th minute, with the Portugal star already squandering a chance earlier in the game.

in the first half, but was denied by 19-year-old goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu.

as Ronaldo scored on a Goncalo Guedes assist in the 89th minute.

And then, in the sixth minute of stoppage time, Ronaldo added a winner, sealing a 2-1 win for Portugal in the process.

All about the Record-breaking

Ronaldo equalled Ali Daei’s record of 109 international goals after scoring twice,

in Portugal’s 2-2 draw against France in the Euro 2020 group stages earlier this summer,

and has now surpassed the Iran legend.

The former Juventus superstar moved two ahead of German great Miroslav Klose,

as the highest-scoring player in European Championship and World Cup competition (21) after netting that brace,

and recorded his 110th strike against the Republic of Ireland in his 180th game for his country.

Ronaldo is also the outright top scorer in Euros history on 14, and he is the only player to ever play and score in five consecutive appearances at the tournament.

his standing as one of the greatest players of his generation.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has also won two trophies with his country,

including Euro 2016, but his achievements at club level are arguably even more impressive.

Ronaldo has scored 674 goals in 894 games across spells at Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus,

and has yet to show any signs of slowing down despite advancing towards his late thirties.

At the end of today’s match, Cristiano Ronaldo shows  Age is just a numbers.
