Author of his 901st goal today with Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo scored for the first time in his career against Scotland, the 48th nation to have conceded a goal from Lusitania. A record.
Things were off to a bad start, Cristiano Ronaldo changed (almost) everything. While hosting Scotland on Sunday evening, as part of the second day of the Nations League group stage, Portugal reversed a situation that had been going badly for a long time. CR7’s entry made the break before the match was decided in just a few minutes (2-1). And the Portuguese player offers a new record.
It was Scott McTominay who opened the scoring for the visitors. Manchester United history was transferred from Naples to Naples without the permission of the men and women before the hour mark. Portugal changed their plans at half-time, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s introduction prepared for the start of the match. Roberto Martinez’s choice paid off late on, particularly when Bruno Fernandes prevailed on the miss to equalise (1-1, 54th).
And 48
And so it was Ronaldo who gave the Seleçao the victory. As in the previous match, when he was about to score his 900th career goal, he was served to the millimetre by a cross from Nuno Mendes (2-1, 88th). If you go past the 901st goal, you can also find the net for the first time against Scotland.
But it also has a part in its history and its sports statistics, which are based on the 48th nation against the source of Cristiano Ronaldo and a few months ago with a selection. The what is celebrated with the Portuguese public.
