Cristiano Ronaldo has drawn level with Gerd Muller and Robbie Keane with 68 international goals following his double in Sunday's win over Latvia.
The Portugal captain scored a penalty and a brilliant volley a 4-1 World Cup qualifying victory to stretch his run to seven goals in his last three appearances for the European champions.
Ronaldo, who hit the post with a second penalty and steered a header against the crossbar late in the match, is now joint-fourth in the scoring charts in Europe alongside Germany great Muller and Keane, who retired from Republic of Ireland duty in August.
