Cristiano Ronaldo set a new milestone in World Cup qualifiers by scoring twice for Portugal in a 2-2 draw against Hungary in Lisbon. The 40-year-old forward’s goals in the 22nd minute and first-half stoppage time marked his 40th and 41st goals in World Cup qualifying matches, surpassing former player Carlos Ruiz. Ronaldo, who now has a total of 143 goals in men’s internationals, left the field in the 78th minute as Portugal missed a chance to secure a World Cup spot with Hungary equalizing in stoppage time. Despite the draw, Portugal maintains a five-point lead over Hungary in Group F standings.
