[4] He has scored ten international hat-tricks, and on two occasions, four international goals in a single match. On 5 March 2014, Ronaldo scored twice in Portugal's 5–1 friendly win over Cameroon to take his tally to 49 goals, thus becoming his country's all-time leading goalscorer, surpassing the 47 set by Pauleta. [5] He scored the only goal in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against Armenia on 14 November 2014, his 23rd goal in UEFA European Championship qualifying and finals matches, surpassing the record previously held by Turkey's Hakan Şükür and Denmark's Jon Dahl Tomasson. [6] On 20 June 2018, Ronaldo scored his 85th goal for Portugal in a 1–0 win over Morocco at the 2018 World Cup, surpassing Hungary's Ferenc Puskás as the all-time top scorer for a European national team. [7] On 8 September 2020, he scored his 100th and 101st goals for Portugal in a 2–0 win against Sweden in the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League, to become the first European player to reach this milestone.
