In the early morning of October 15 (Vietnam time), Ronaldo scored a double in the 2-2 draw between Portugal and Hungary. The match was part of the 4th round of Group F, the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe.
In the 22nd minute, Ronaldo moved wisely to be there in time, received a cross from the right wing by Semedo, and scored the equalizer 1-1 for Portugal.
Before Ronaldo's goal, Portugal had a difficult time playing at home against a high-spirited Hungary. The away team opened the score with a goal from Szalai in the 8th minute.
But Ronaldo's impressive form extinguished all that excitement. After equalizing 1-1, CR7 continued to score to increase the score to 2-1 for Portugal.
This time it was a cross from the left wing, delivered by Nuno Mendes. The PSG defender drew a beautiful trajectory, sending the ball right to Ronaldo's feet in a favorable position, and obviously the 40-year-old superstar did not miss the opportunity.
If Portugal won this match, they would officially qualify for the World Cup with two matches to spare. But then Szoboszlai kept Hungary's hopes alive with a goal in the 90+1 minute, equalizing 2-2 for Hungary.

This unfortunate loss prevented Portugal from finishing early and retiring early in the World Cup qualifiers. After 4 matches, they currently have 10 points, 5 points ahead of second-placed Hungary, and only need 1 more victory to set foot in the 2026 World Cup.
As for Ronaldo personally, he set a memorable record - the person who scored the most goals in the history of World Cup qualifying.
Previously, Ronaldo was equal with Carlos Ruiz (Guatemala) when he scored 39 goals in the history of World Cup qualifying - 3 more than Messi. And the 2 recent goals helped Ronaldo break away with the record of 41 goals.
As Messi's Argentina team has now finished the World Cup qualifiers, Ronaldo's record promises to stand for a long time.
Despite his outstanding performance in the qualifying round, Ronaldo is still far behind Messi when entering the World Cup. In the football festival of the planet, CR7 has only 8 goals after 5 times participating, while Messi has 13.
