In the early morning of October 15 (Vietnam time), football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) shone brightly with a double against Hungary. This double helped CR7 continue to set a record for scoring goals in the World Cup qualifiers.
The match was part of the 4th round of Group F, the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe. Despite playing at home, Portugal initially encountered difficulties when Hungary took the lead in the 8th minute thanks to Szalai's goal.
However, in the 22nd minute, CR7 made a smart move, receiving an accurate cross from the right wing by Semedo to cushion the ball to equalize 1-1.
He then went on to put Portugal 2-1 up after a superb cross from the left wing by Nuno Mendes, slotting home from a comfortable position.
If Portugal had won this match, they would have officially secured a ticket to the 2026 World Cup with two matches to spare. Unfortunately, that hope was extinguished in injury time when Szoboszlai shone with a goal in the 90+1 minute, bringing a dramatic 2-2 draw for Hungary.
After 4 matches, Portugal has 10 points, leading Group F, while Hungary is second with 5 points. Coach Martinez and his team will have an early chance to win tickets to the 2026 World Cup in the next November series of matches when they face Ireland and Armenia.
Before this match, CR7 was equal with former striker Carlos Ruiz (Guatemala) with 39 goals. This double helped CR7 set a record, becoming the person who scored the most goals in the history of World Cup qualifying.
With Messi's Argentina side having concluded their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, Ronaldo's record of 41 goals promises to stand for a long time.
