WHAT HAPPENED? The Portugal icon, who became the most capped player in men's football history in the Seleccao's last outing against Liechtenstein, latched on to a pass from Bruno Fernandes and put a cool finish past goalkeeper Anthony Moris to make it 4-0 to Roberto Martinez's team before the half-time whistle. Portugal went on to win the match 6-0, with Otavio and Raphael Leao also getting on the scoresheet.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The goal was Ronaldo's second of the game, as he opened the scoring early on when Nuno Mendes' header landed perfectly for him to nudge home from close range. The 38-year-old now has 124 goals from 199 appearances for Portugal.
