Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks Records with 4 Goals in Portugal's 5-1 Win Over Lithuania ¶
On Tuesday, September 10, 2019, Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal to a 5-1 victory over Lithuania in their Euro 2020 qualifier, scoring four goals in the process.
With his 160th international goal, Ronaldo became the first European player to reach 90 international goals, a feat he achieved in his 161st match.
His four goals also meant that he has now scored against 40 different countries, a milestone no other footballer has matched.
Midfielder William Carvalho completed the rout in stoppage time, with Vytautas Andriuškevičius' 28th minute goal turning out to be a mere consolation for the hosts.
Ronaldo's sensational goal-scoring form stole the headlines, despite Portugal's outstanding performance.
