With three Cristiano Ronaldo goals, Portugal beat Luxembourg in the European qualifiers

Cristiano Ronaldo needed just 12 minutes to score two goals and help Portugal beat Luxembourg 5-0 this Tuesday, in the European Qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup.

The match was held at the Algarve Stadium in Faro. With today’s three goals, Luxemburgo became the biggest victim of Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal. The star has already rocked the rival team’s net nine times during his career.

With the result, Portugal goes to 16 points and is second in group A, with a game less than Serbia. Luxembourg follows with six points, in third place.

Portugal started the first half with great intensity and didn’t take long to open the scoring, with Cristiano Ronaldo taking a penalty on seven minutes. Five minutes later, the number 7 shirt from Portugal scored another penalty. There was still time for Bruno Fernandes to leave his in the 17th minute.

The wide advantage allowed Portugal to only manage the result in the second stage. Even so, JoĆ£o Palhinha took advantage of the corner kick at 23 minutes to leave his. To close the account, Cristiano Ronaldo made another one in the 41st minute, taking advantage of Ruben Neves’ cross.

The two teams return to the field for the European Qualifiers on November 11th. Luxembourg visits Azerbaijan at the Baku Olympic Stadium at 14:00 (GMT). Afterwards, Portugal visits Ireland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
