Cristiano Ronaldo struck twice in Portugal’s World Cup clash against Uzbekistan, a brace that cements him as the all-time leading scorer in Portuguese national team history.

With 145 goals in 230 appearances, he has now surpassed Eusébio for good and sits firmly atop Portugal’s goal-scoring charts. These goals also take his World Cup tally to 10—an elite milestone achieved by only a handful of players in history.

At 41, Ronaldo continues to dazzle, extending an already extraordinary career. He remains one of the most decisive players in international football history. The match is still underway, with Portugal leading 3-0 at halftime.
