Cristiano Ronaldo scored once in Portugal’s 7-0 rout of Andorra in a friendly, moving a step closer to becoming the all-time top scorer for a national team.
Ronaldo scored his 102nd goal for Portugal to sit seven shy of the 109 scored by former Iran striker Ali Daei, the only other male soccer player to surpass the 100-goal milestone for a national team.
Ronaldo broke the century mark after scoring twice in Portugal’s Nations League win over Sweden in October.
Ronaldo entered the match after half-time andmade it 6-0 with a close-range header in the 85th minute.
Pedro Neto and Paulinho both scored on their Portugal debuts.
In Paris, France suffered a 2-0 home defeat against Finland as their 12-match unbeaten streak came to an end. Marcus Forss and Onni Valakari scored in the first half to give Finland their first win against Les Bleus.
Lucas Waldschmidt’s early goal was enough for an inexperienced Germany team to beat the Czech Republic 1-0 in Leipzig. Germany goalkeeper Kevin Trapp made a late save to deny Matej Vydra an equaliser for the visitors, who were without two players due to positive coronavirus tests.
