Cristiano Ronaldo set a new world record by scoring his 128th international goal for Portugal as they beat lowly CHT in their Euro 2024 qualifiers.
In the first half in Vaduz, the hosts pushed the Portuguese team, which had already secured a place in Germany, into a desperate situation.
But in the first minute of the second half, Al Nasr’s 38-year-old Ronaldo hit the post and then scored from Diogo Jota’s through ball.
Joao Cancelo curled the ball in for the second time and Goncalo Ramos’ shot was disallowed.
Despite leaving Manchester United for the Saudi league, Ronaldo has still contributed to the national team, scoring 10 goals for Portugal this year.
Ali Daei’s 108 goals for Iran was the previous world record for men’s goals.
In other Group J matches, Slovakia qualified for Euro 2024 with a 4-2 victory over Iceland, finishing second behind Portugal.
Luxembourg, who will participate in next year’s play-offs, defeated Savo Milosevic’s Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-1.
