Cristiano Ronaldo scored the equalizing goal for Portugal against Hungary, smashing yet another record in soccer history.
Portugal hosted Hungary on Matchday 4 of the UEFA World Cup Qualifiers, looking to strengthen their bid for a spot in the tournament. With the team struggling early, Cristiano Ronaldo once again came to the rescue, scoring the equalizer and breaking yet another all-time record in the competition.
With Portugal dominating possession and pushing for the leveller, Vitinha played a perfectly timed through ball to Nelson Semedo inside the box. The right-back then fired a low cross into the area for Ronaldo, who finished with a simple tap-in to bring Portugal level in the 22nd minute.
Ronaldo adds another record to his legendary career
The goal against Hungary didn’t just move Portugal a step closer to World Cup qualification — it also marked another milestone for Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar has now become the all-time leading goalscorer in World Cup Qualifiers across all confederations, surpassing Guatemalan legend Carlos Ruiz with a record 40 goals.
