Cristiano Ronaldo set a new goal record after scoring Portugal's two goals against Hungary, but the game ended in a 2-2 draw. The draw prevents Cristiano Ronaldo's side from sealing an opportunity to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. The two goals mark Cristiano Ronaldo's, who is now 40 years old, 40th and 41st World Cup qualifying goals. By these goals, the football icon has surpassed the record of Carlos Ruiz of Guatemala, who had only netted 39 goals, to become the all-time leading scorer in qualifiers. The first goal of the day was scored by Attila Szalai, who converted an assist from Dominik Szoboszlai in the 8th minute after the starting whistle was blown. Not long after, Ronaldo helped Portugal to equalise with a not-too-distant shot and doubled the team's lead through a cross from Nuno Mendes before the end of the first half. Portugal appeared set for victory until Szoboszlai struck a dramatic 91st-minute equaliser for the visitors. Despite the setback, Portugal was almost going to run off with three points before Szoboszlai fired an equaliser for Hungary in the 91st minute. The draw only stopped Portugal from staying eight points clear at the top of Group F with two matches to go; their next chance at solidifying their spot will be playing against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin. The draw did not stop Hungary from remaining in the second position, staying only one point above Ireland.
