Ronaldo scores 100th goal for Portugal

Having been denied on a number of occasions by Sweden keeper Robin Olsen, the 35-year-old forward made no mistake when presented with a free kick just before halftime.

He took a short run-up and unleashed a powerful dipping effort that flew beyond Olsen’s despairing fingertips and just under the crossbar.

Ronaldo struck again in the 72nd minute, drifting in from the left before once again curling a dipping shot, this time to Olsen’s left, to put Portugal 2-0 up.

Ronaldo’s first senior goal for Portugal came in a 2-1 loss to Greece at Euro 2004 and he needs eight more to equal Daei’s record of 109 international goals.
