Cristiano Ronaldo has scored his 100th international goal for Portugal against Sweden.

Ronaldo is the first European player to bring this milestone.

The European champions took the lead after the Juventus superstar scored minutes before halftime in Stockholm.

The 35-year-old produced a spectacular free-kick that put Fernando Santos’ side ahead in his 165th international game for his country.

Ronaldo is only the second male player to achieve the milestone, after Ali Daei of Iran (109).

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner now hopes to surpass Daei and become the top male scorer in international soccer history.

The goal against Sweden was their 10th direct free kick for the Selecao.

Ronaldo sent the free kick, placed in the center, high above the wall, sinking brutally into the upper left corner.

His signature celebration continued as he delightedly walked away to the bank of Portugal to celebrate with Santos and the substitutes.
