Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates scoring against Switzerland at Lisbon on Sunday
Cristiano Ronaldo marshalled Portugal past Switzerland in the Nations League on Sunday, scoring a world record-extending 116th and 117th goals for his country. Ronaldo scored twice in four first-half minutes and had a third goal ruled offside by VAR as Portugal crushed Switzerland 4-0.
The Manchester United striker had set up William Carvalho for the opener with Joao Cancelo completing the rout to fire Portugal to the top of League A, Group 2, on goal difference from the Czech Republic. Ronaldo had gone five games and nearly nine months without an international goal before this double delivery in Lisbon.
