Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo scored a last-minute winner on his historic night as he became the first men\u2019s player to win 200 international caps in their Euro 2024 qualifying win over Iceland.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old turned home Goncalo Inacio\u2019s header from close range. The goal was initially ruled out for an Inacio offside but was awarded by the video assistant referee.<\/p>\n

That was Ronaldo\u2019s 123rd international goal, extending his world record. Al-Nassr\u2019s Ronaldo broke Kuwait forward Bader Al-Mutawa\u2019s 196-cap record in March \u2014 and was given a certificate by Guinness World Records before kick-off to mark this latest landmark.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me it\u2019s an unbelievable achievement, it\u2019s amazing,\u201d he said after the match. \u201cAnd, of course to score the winning goal, it\u2019s even more special.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t play so well but sometimes football is like that but we scored a goal and, in my opinion, we deserved it. I\u2019m so happy because of 200 caps, but this is even more special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ronaldo is in his 20th year of playing for Portugal, having made his international debut in 2003, and is still a regular in the team despite leaving Europe for Saudi Arabia after the World Cup.<\/p>\n

The former Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus forward has won the Ballon d\u2019Or five times. His fifth goal of Euro 2024 qualifying helped take Portugal on to four wins from four games.<\/p>\n

Iceland, who have only won once, had Willum Willumsson sent off for two bookings with 10 minutes to go.<\/p>\n
