This matchup can be said to be the least suspenseful matchup in the first round. In the FIFA rankings, Portugal ranks 9th, while Liechtenstein only ranks 198th. So there is only one thing to watch in this game, and that is whether Ronaldo can continue to score goals. In the first half of the game, the Liechtenstein team relied on the iron barrel and only conceded one goal. However, in the second half, their physical strength declined and they collapsed in a short period of time. In the 47th and 51st minutes, Bernardo Silva and Ronaldo scored successively, rewriting the score to 3-0 in an instant, killing the suspense of the game ahead of schedule. In the 63rd minute, Ronaldo scored another direct free kick to lock the score at 4-0. The Portuguese team easily got off to a good start and scored 3 points.
With his appearance in this game, Ronaldo was also able to surpass the Kuwaiti player Mutawa and became the player who played the most times on behalf of the men's national team in the history of world football. Since his debut in August 2003, Ronaldo has played 197 games for Portugal, contributing 120 goals and 43 assists. As long as Ronaldo does not retire and continues to play for the Portuguese team, this record will continue to be refreshed.Cristiano Ronaldo trikots
