Cristiano Ronaldo was only too happy to accept the warning for his primal screaming jubilation with a bare upper body. "I'm so happy," said the Portuguese soccer superstar after his spectacular record evening. The 2016 World Cup qualifier against Ireland in Faro seemed to have been lost at 0: 1 when Ronaldo struck. The 1: 1 in the 89th minute, number 110 in his collection, raised him to the sole goal world record holder for international matches. The homage was already in full swing when the 36-year-old added number 111 in the sixth minute of stoppage time. "I dedicate these goals to all the Portuguese and the entire team," he said, moved afterwards.

Ronaldo, who had just moved to Manchester United, left Iranian Ali Daei (109 goals / 149 games) behind.

Ronaldo has now played 180 games for Portugal.

Two goals at the end of the game are very special, said Ronaldo.

He appreciates what the team has achieved: "We believed in ourselves until the very end."

“In addition to being a national hero, you have become an international icon and role model for players around the world.

Their skills and constant pursuit of improvement deserve worldwide recognition and admiration.

Parabéns, Cristiano! ”Said FIFA President Gianni Infantino in a statement from the association.

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.
