The goals of the European Qualifiers and Cristiano Ronaldo’s record

The Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo became the top scorer for teams in football history on Wednesday by adding his 110th goal with Portugal and surpassing the 109 of the Iranian Ali Daei, who registered that figure between 1993 and 2006.

Cristiano, 36, achieved the record at the Algarve Stadium thanks to a header against Ireland in the 89th minute to make it 1-1 and, at 95, seal the agonizing 2-1 again by air through the Fourth date of the European Qualifiers towards Qatar 2022.

The feat was made to be expected, as the attacker had the opportunity to achieve the record in the 15th minute with a penalty kick, but was stopped by the Irish goalkeeper, Gavin Bazunu.

History looked really bad for the locals as, at the end of the first half, defender John Egan put the Irish ahead with a header. But after giving birth to the match, it was the turn of the famous number 7 to claim, who has scored 111 goals in 180 games with the Portuguese shirt.

This was not the only milestone achieved in the day by the already Manchester United player since, with 180 games, he also equaled Sergio Ramos as a European player with more international appearances.

Portugal was at the top of the Group with 10 units after four dates, although it is the only cast that for now had no free date. Behind are Serbia (7 points), the surprising Luxembourg (6), and Ireland and Azerbaijan (0), all with three games. In the other match of the day, Luxembourg beat Azerbaijan 2-1 at home.

After the rest of this Saturday – Ireland receives Azerbaijan and Serbia to Luxembourg – Portugal will be presented on Tuesday 7, from 13, as a visitor to Azerbaijan. In addition, at 3:45 p.m. they will play Ireland vs. Serbia in Dublin.

France could not

In other highlights of the day, France, with all its stars including Kylian Mbappé, Karim Benzema and Antoine Griezmann, failed at home against Bosnia and Herzegovina and barely rescued a 1-1 draw.

The eternal Edin Dzeko opened the scoring at 35 minutes for the visit but after a while, Griezmann equaled it with the help of a defender for France, who suffered excessively from the expulsion of defender Jules Kounde at 51.

France leads their zone with 8 points ahead of Ukraine (4), both with 4 matches. They are followed by Finland, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kazakhstan, all with 2 units and fewer games.

With cry of Haaland

Norway and the Netherlands drew 1-1 in Oslo, with goals from stellar Erling Haaland for the hosts (at 20 minutes) and midfielder Davy Klaassen for the visit (at 37). In other group matches, Latvia beat Gibraltar 3-1 and Turkey drew 2-2 with Montenegro.

The disputed zone has Turkey with 8 points, the Netherlands (7), Montenegro (7), Norway (7), Latvia (4) and Gibraltar (0), all with four games played.
