Portuguese veteran took goals total to 122 and caps to 197
Rasmus Højlund double had Denmark 2-0 up until 73rd minute

Cristiano Ronaldo extended his goals and appearances records as Portugal enjoyed a 6-0 win in Luxembourg. Ronaldo made a world-record 197th appearance – overhauling the previous record set by Kuwait striker Bader al-Mutawa – in Thursday’s win over Liechtenstein, scoring twice in the 4-0 success.

The former Manchester United forward found the net twice more on Sunday, taking his record international tally to 122. Ronaldo opened the scoring after nine minutes and grabbed his second just after the half hour, with Chelsea’s João Félix and Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva having made it 3-0 to the visitors inside 18 minutes.
