It ended with Ronaldo cementing his status as a continued mainstay in his national team and proof that he still has the scoring instincts to be of large value for Portugal.
Ronaldo scored against both Croatia and Scotland to take his men’s-record tally of international goals to 132. He started on the bench against the Scots in Lisbon and changed the game when approaching as a halftime substitute.
