Cristiano Ronaldo has once again proven his skills on the field by scoring two goals in just 22 minutes during Portugal’s match against Bosnia and Herzegovina for the Euro 2024 qualifiers. The legendary Portuguese striker opened the scoring with a penalty and followed it with a beautiful chip over the goalkeeper. By halftime, Portugal was already leading with a commanding 5-0 score. Ronaldo’s impressive performance added to his national team goal total, solidifying his status as one of the greatest football players of all time.
What occurred during the game? The captain wasted no time for the Selecao, scoring the first goal from his 160th career penalty after only five minutes. He went on to score a second goal soon after, receiving Joao Felix’s through ball before lifting an effortless shot into the open net.
What’s the bigger picture? Despite Portugal already qualifying for Euro 2024, Roberto Martinez selected a full-strength lineup for the Selecao’s final game of the international break. Ronaldo has now scored a total of 127 goals for Portugal.
What’s next for Portugal? With a score of 5-0 in their favor at halftime, it’s unlikely that their opponents will stage a miraculous comeback, so Portugal is set to end the international break with a perfect qualifying record.
