Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez both found the back of the net on Thursday night to equal Ronaldo's record for most goals scored for a South American national team in competitive matches.
All three have now struck 39 times in such games with Suarez the first to equal the Brazil legend's haul courtesy of a first-half penalty in a controversial 2-1 win over Chile.
Former Barcelona team-mate Messi then matched the milestone in similar fashion as he scored from the spot in a narrow 1-0 win over Ecuador.
