With Cristiano Ronaldo’s 100th and 101st national team goals, defending champion and European champion Portugal won a 2-0 victory on Tuesday as a guest of Sweden in the A division at the forefront of the League of Nations.
Juventus ’35-year-old striker thus became the second men’s soccer player to score a hundred hits in a national team. The record is held by Iranian Ali Daei, who has been a successful crested jersey 109 times. Ronaldo needed 165 performances to become a "captain."
At the day’s most anticipated rival of the day, the “repetition” of the 2018 World Cup final, the gold-medal French once again outperformed the silver-medal Croatians: just two years ago at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, this time a 4-2 result. Portugal and France are thus 100% in the group, while Croatia and Sweden are without points.
The balance of the World Cup bronze medal Belgians also remained immaculate, as they easily defeated the guest Iceland 5-1.
