Portugal saw Hungary 3-2 in a group FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifying match on Tuesday in the Puskas Arena in Budapest when Cristiano Ronaldo added a record to his name.

Joao Cancele hit the winner only two minutes after Barnabas Varga scored his second of the night to put the host back in the lead.

It was by Varga that Hungary, who rode the support of a noisy crowd, had taken the lead in the first half before the strike of Bernardo Silva recovered the parity before the break.

Just before the hour, Ronaldo then marked a penalty to score his 39th goal in world cup qualification competitions and the record of equal Guatemalekse Carlos Ruiz.

With this victory, the Portuguese remained on top of the group with six points from two games.
