LISBON (AP) \u2014 Another goal, another record for Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo, 40, scored twice for Portugal against Hungary on Tuesday, making him the player with the most goals in World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n

His first goal, scored from close range in the 22nd minute, was Ronaldo’s 40th goal in World Cup qualifying, breaking a tie with former Guatemalan player Carlos Ruiz.<\/p>\n

The Al Nasr striker then added a second goal in first-half stoppage time, extending his record to 41 goals in 50 World Cup qualifying matches.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo currently has a record 143 goals in the men’s national team.<\/p>\n

He left the pitch in the 78th minute with the score at 2-1, and Hungary equalized with Dominik Szoboszlai’s goal in stoppage time to deny Portugal a spot in the World Cup with two group games remaining.<\/p>\n

Portugal leads Group F with a five-point lead over second-placed Hungary.<\/p>\n
