It was a big night for Cristiano Ronaldo, who broke another record with his 197th appearance for his country. The Al Nassr striker surpassed Kuwait’s Bader Al-Mutawa and became the most-capped player in international football history. Ronaldo made the night more memorable with his brace at the Jose Alvalade Stadium.
“I like to break records, I have broken a lot of records,” Ronaldo had told reporters on the eve of Thursday’s match.
Talking about the match, it was Portugal’s attack vs Lichtenstein throughout the game. After taking an early lead, Portugal failed to hit the target despite having possession for most of the time. While it was a win for Lichtenstein defenders, Portugal soon switched the gears and scored 3 goals in the first 15 minutes of the second half to close out the game.
