Cristiano Ronaldo became the first European to score 100 international goals in men's
football and then passed that mark with both goals in Portugal’s 2-0 win over Sweden.
The captain curled a stunning free-kick into the top corner - the 57th of his career - to reach the landmark.
He then fired in a fine second from outside the box.
Ronaldo, who played 81 minutes, is within eight goals of the world record.
Iran's Ali Daei - the only man to score more international goals than Ronaldo - hit 109 during his playing career from 1993 to 2006.
The next top scoring current players are India's Sunil Chhetri (72) and Argentina's Lionel Messi (70).
