Ronaldo breaks men’s scoring record with 2 goals for Portugal against Ireland

Ronaldo grabbed his 110th goal in the 89th minute on Wednesday to move ahead of former Iran striker Ali Daei.

Six minutes into the stoppage time, Ronaldo made it 111 in 180 games to break Irish hearts after defender John Egan gave his nation the lead in the 45th.

“I’m very happy, not only because I beat the record but for the special moments that we had,” Ronaldo said.

His 15th-minute spot kick was well saved by goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, who was just 2 years old when Ronaldo scored his first for Portugal as a skinny winger at the 2004 European Championship.

Ronaldo’s only title with Portugal came at Euro 2016.

Although he was the top scorer at this year’s European Championship with five goals in four games, his team’s title defense ended in the round of 16.
