LEIRIA, Portugal : Cristiano Ronaldo became Portugal's all-time leading scorer Wednesday, netting twice as Portugal thrashed Cameroon 5-1 in a warm-up match between teams preparing for the World Cup.
Ronaldo clinched his place in the record book with goals in the 21st and 83rd minutes, taking his international tally to 49. The 2013 FIFA world player of the year overtook Pauleta, who retired in 2006 after scoring 47 goals
in 88 games. Ronaldo was making his 110th appearance.
Vincent Aboubakar equalized for Cameroon with a close-range volley in the 43rd as both teams delivered some slick attacking play.
After two goals in two minutes, from Raul Meireles and Fabio Coentrao, Ronaldo set up substitute Edinho's goal in the 77th before sealing the win in the late stages as the visitors tired.
