Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and set a new goal-scoring record, but his Portugal side could only draw with Hungary to miss a chance to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

Ronaldo, 40, has now scored 41 goals in World Cup qualifying to move clear of the previous record holder, former Guatemala striker Carlos Ruiz, who got 39 qualifying goals in his career.

With England beating Latvia 5-0 to qualify from Group K, Portugal were minutes away from also securing their spot in next summer’s tournament in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

However, in the 91st minute Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai grabbed an equaliser to deny Portugal the win they needed, although they still hold a five-point lead at the top of Group F with two matches to go.

Portugal’s next chance to qualify comes on 13 November when they play the Republic of Ireland in Dublin.
