Striker Cristiano Ronaldo has broken another record and is now also the most dangerous national football player in history.
The Portuguese scored twice for his country in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar on Wednesday evening in a 2-1 (0-1) against Ireland in the closing stages.
Ronaldo, who had just moved to Manchester United, left Iranian Ali Daei (109 goals / 149 games) behind with 111 international goals.
Ronaldo has now played 179 games for Portugal.
Because of Norway's star striker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, Louis van Gaal missed a win on his return as coach of the Netherlands.
At 1: 1 (1: 1) Haaland met the interim lead (20th).
Davy Klaassen saved Bondscoach van Gaal one point (36th).
Because Turkey played 2-2 (2-1) against Montenegro, the Turks continue to lead Group G with eight points.
The Netherlands, Montenegro and Norway follow with seven points each.
Latvia defeated Gibraltar 2-1 (0-0).
The French suffered a damper.
They had to be content with a 1-1 (1-1) draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina when they were outnumbered.
Nevertheless, the “Equipe Tricolore” is still at the top.
Denmark continues to be harmless.
The 1992 European champions won 2-0 (2-0) against Scotland.
Directly behind is Israel, which prevailed 4-0 (2-0) on the Faroe Islands.
In Group H, Croatia and Russia hold the two top positions.
There were no goals in the direct duel.
The pursuers Slovenia and Slovakia also drew 1-1.
