Watch: Ronaldo's header breaks record for international goals by European
Cristiano Ronaldo has set yet another record.
It took the Real Madrid hitman only four minutes to break the deadlock against Morocco on Wednesday at the World Cup, and to surpass Hungary legend Ferenc Puskas' mark for goals scored by a European in international football. Ronaldo now has a record 85 goals for Portugal.
His early heroics in Moscow came five days after he fired three past Spain in a thrilling 3-3 draw to open Portugal's World Cup campaign. The overall leader for international goals is Ali Daei (109), who represented Iran between 1993 and 2006.
What, like scoring goals is hard or something?
