The Portuguese ace had missed a penalty during the first half of the game, but he was able to give A Selecao the win with two late headers.

The day when Cristiano Ronaldo broke an international record had to come, and the Portuguese ace made the most of his performance against Ireland tonight by scoring the record-breaking brace.

The Portuguese superstar was level with Ali Daei as the top scorers in international football with 109 goals, and it seemed that the footballer was not going to be able to break that tie after missing a penalty during the first half of the clash, but he "chose" to save the best for the final minutes of the tie.

CR7's first goal came after 89 minutes, when he put to good use a cross by Gonçalo Guedes to level the clash. If that was not enough, one more cross by Joao Mario in the dying seconds of the match concluded with one more header by CR7 and the game-winning goal.

And here's the second one (Image might be geo-restricted).

Unfortunately for Portugal, the striker will not be around for the next World Cup Qualifying match, as he was booked right after the second goal for taking his shirt off while celebrating.
