MOSCOW - Cristiano Ronaldo became Europe's highest ever scorer in international football when he struck an early goal in Portugal's Group B match against Morocco here.
Ronaldo's diving fourth-minute header at Luzhniki Stadium was his 85th goal for his country, breaking the record held by Hungary great Ferenc Puskas.
The 33-year-old Real Madrid star equalled the record with a hat-trick against Spain last Friday.
Puskas scored 84 international goals for Hungary between 1945 and 1956.
