The goal
scored by Ronaldo meant he joined Iran’s Ali Daei as the only male player to
score 100 goals or more in international soccer.
Cristiano
Ronaldo scored his 100th goal for Portugal in their Nations League clash away
to Sweden on Tuesday.
Having been
denied on a number of occasions by Sweden keeper Robin Olsen, the 35-year-old
attacker made no mistake when presented with a free kick just before halftime.
He took a
short run-up and unleashed a powerful dipping effort that flew in just under
the crossbar and beyond Olsen’s despairing fingertips.
Ronaldo’s
first senior goal for Portugal came in a 2-1 loss to Greece at Euro 2004, and
he will need to score nine more to equal Daei’s record of 109 international
goals. (Reuters/NAN)
