Cristiano Ronaldo Reaches 100 International Goals As Portugal Beat Sweden

Ronaldo determined to surpass Ali Daei record for male international; France ease past Croatia and Belgium thrash Iceland.

Cristiano Ronaldo became the first European player to reach 100 international goals after scoring twice in Portugal’s 2-0 win over 10-man Sweden.

Veteran Sweden midfielder Gustav Svensson was sent off just before half-time for collecting a second yellow card, and from the resulting free-kick, Ronaldo fired the ball into the top corner to bring up his landmark century.

After 72 minutes, the Juventus forward – who missed Portugal’s Nations League opener against Croatia on Saturday with a toe injury – curled in a second goal from the edge of the penalty area.

The total number of international goals scored by him now is 101 plus his two goals for Portugal against sweden.
